While COVID-19 has made the traditional fall dinner auction impossible this year, “Second Hand in the First Town” promises to be a fun and safe way to raise badly needed funds to support Society programs. But it won’t happen without you!
A community event, the tag sale will also include local partners at House of Books and Games selling used history books and other items to benefit the Society, the Music School at Sound Crossing providing musical performances, The Bean @ 226 providing coffee and refreshments, and the Windsor Discovery Center and Montessori School’s tag sale fundraiser next door. Lots to see and do, all in one place!
When is the Tag Sale?
Friday, November 6, 4 to 6pm – Early bird special ($10 admission)
Saturday, November 7, 8am to 4pm – Public tag sale (Free admission)
Sunday, November 8, 10am to 2pm – Half price day (Free admission)
