If you have never been to the Kidsignments sale in Marion, and you have kids, you MUST go and check it out! The next sale is just a few weeks away - Sept. 16 & 17th.
When I moved to Marion 2 years ago I heard about this sale, but had never been to anything like it, so was a bit confused as to what it was/is. It is a weekend-long, extremely organized sale, held at the Grant County Fairgrounds this year, where local families consign gently used kids items. For me, it is a way to clear out all the old stuff my kids don't use/need/fit into any more and to get new stuff! The past two years I have gotten almost all my boys' clothes, games, bikes, books at this sale, and have usually spent the same amount that I make from consigning items they no longer need, making my net cost ZERO dollars. How cool is that? Last year I took care of all of their Christmas shopping at this sale, and the prize item that was opened by each of my boys on Christmas morning was a Spiderman sippy cup (I paid $2 for 2 cups at the sale, and they were in like-new condition!). Upon opening his Spiderman cup, my then 3-year old exclaimed, "Mom, this is just what I always wanted!". It was precious. He was also very excited about some CARS slippers & matching PJs I found ($2/each!).
Per the Kidsignments website:
The children's consignment sale is an organized and advertised large group sale, in order to sell gently used children's items: including clothing from newborn to pre-teen, maternity clothing, toys, baby equipment, books, videos, outdoor play equipment. Prices are reasonable but higher than garage sales.
