A sale where families can sell their gently used items to other families in need will take place at the Berrien County Youth Fair from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, April 29 in the commercial buildings on the fairgrounds in Berrien Springs.
The Berrien County Youth Fair Fundraising Committee will host the second annual Spring Mom2Mom Sale, their sixth sale in total.
A Mom2Mom sale is a large indoor sale where moms can rent tables to sell their children’s outgrown gently used items to other moms and dads.
New expectant moms can find needed items, including maternity wear, baby carriers, baby gear, cribs, bassinets, bouncers and much more at a fraction of the cost of new items.
Admission is $2 per person. Children ages 12 and under are admitted for free. Those attending should enter gate 2 (across from Apple Valley Market).
The fundraising committee will provide concessions for shoppers and sellers, selling coffee, hot chocolate, water, pop, chips and hot dogs.
A bake sale will also be offered during the sale, with the proceeds going towards the Exhibitor Premium Fund, benefiting the BCYF exhibitors. An ATM will also be available that day for convenience as most sellers only deal in cash.
A limited number of spaces are still available for those interested in selling at the sale. Booth spaces are $25 for a 10-by-19 space that includes an 8-foot table and two chairs.
Sellers are welcome to bring their own tables, racks, etc. that will fit in their space to help organize and sell their items. Those interested in renting a spot should contact the fair office to check on availability of spaces.
The past sales have had more than 1,000 attendees and have only been growing in popularity. The committee looks forward to hosting this sale and welcomes all public (not just moms!) to attend. Any questions regarding the sale can be directed to the fair office, to their Facebook event page: Berrien County Spring Mom2Mom Sale, or e-mail at m2m@bcyf.org
