Skip holding your own yard sale this summer and do something else instead!

This HUGE (Indoor) Yard Sale promises quantity and quality. 250+ tables and thousands of new-to-you donated items in every category. Antiques, collectibles and fabulous finds. Something for everyone. Shop in air-conditioned comfort. Free parking. $1.00 suggested donation at the door; kids are free. Also, every child gets to pick out a free Yard Sale book.

Mark your calendar for Donation Drop Off: Donation days will be August 7-10 at the Champlain Valley Exposition. Keep an eye on our website for hours and directions. Visit www.kidsafevt.org for donation acceptance criteria (what we take and don't take). Best and clean condition please!

Beloved CHAMP (Vermont Lake Monsters mascot) will be clowning around and shaking hands at the Yard Sale on Saturday, August 11th 11:30am-12:30pm. Stop by with the little ones and take a picture with the big guy.
