Parent Connection Swap Meet Attracts Local Families
September 29, 2010 Tweet
Five t-shirts, three pairs of shorts, Lincoln logs, two Sesame Street DVDs, and a stroller to carry them off—all for $20. That’s the kind of deal that makes the bi-yearly Parent Connection Swap Meet a highly anticipated Fall events.
Parents looking for bargains will converge on Canyon Crest Academy Sunday, Oct. 3, 2010, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. to save on everything they need for their newborns, infants and young children.
More than 300 vendor families will be selling used furniture, clothing, strollers, toys and books. In many cases some of the items will have been worn once or never removed from the box.
“One family’s jumble is another’s jewel,” says Pam Nagata, Parent Connection coordinator. “It’s a win-win for local families. For example, a new parent can find some terrific deals on infant clothes and toys, while the seller family is able to clear out those items and stock up on toddler gear.”
