33rd Gas Engine Show & Flea Market
This is our BIGGEST fundraiser of the year, and with that comes new ideas to make it even bigger!***The addition of more street signs in the gas engine area. What will they be???
***Two new UCB sponsored booths with, of course...New Chairpersons!
At this time, we are looking for GOOD resellable auction items, IE-furniture, paintings, yard items, condo rentals, cordwood, etc. Please call Tom Bergeron at 863-8145 for information and pickup.
New this year, we are trying to defray some of our costs. We spend approximately $700 on soda and water a year, so when you go to the store and the sign says "Buy one, get one free", please consider donating the free one! We are looking for: 12 oz. cans of Coke, Diet Coke, orange soda, root beer and Sprite. Also, 16.9 oz bottled water, napkins and 10 oz. foam coffee cups. Please leave these items under the table in the foyer outside of Fellowship Hall and we will take care of the rest!
Flea Market sites are already booking! The sites are $35.00 if booked by May 1st, or $40.00 after May 1st. If you know any crafters, vendors, school groups, etc. let them know Harvey Phelps is ready to assign them, or you a spot! Call Harvey at 648-9551! As always, this can only be successful if we ALL work together, as we do so well, at the United Church of Bernardston!
Don't forget...we need good, clean, serviceable merchandise for the auction and the flea market. Please keep this in mind as you do your "spring cleaning". It would be good if you priced your items, keeping in mind, that this is a yard sale, not an antique sale. No clothing please, and nothing with lead paint. Again, you may put the items under the table in the foyer, or if you need pickup, nights or weekends, you can call Tom Bergeron at 863-8145, Bob Allen at 648-5397 or Sheila Sperry at 648-0154.
