Bargains galore at consignment sale

The ?I can?t wear the same dress again? syndrome is popular with many, especially when it pertains to formal attire. This is one of the reasons the Junior Auxiliary of McMinnville decided to hold the Glamour Girl Consignment Sale featuring formal wear, for both children and adults.

?So many young girls get a special dress for an important occasion, and then never wear it again,? said chairman Pam Cantrell. This sale offers them the opportunity to re-sell it to someone else to enjoy. We are only accepting clean, up-to-date styles.?

Anyone wishing to place items in the consignment sale should call Pam at 607-1709 or 934-2860; or Jennifer Brooks at 668-8730 to set up a time to deliver their items for the sale. A consignor?s fee is implemented of $3 for an unlimited number of items. The consignor keeps 70 percent of the profit, with the Junior Auxiliary taking the remaining 30 percent.

Cantrell stresses, ?Hopefully this will be a great fundraiser for us. All the money earned will be put to good use supporting local children and our youth projects.?

Shoppers can find other treasures at the Glamour Girl sale, such as, prom, pageant, bridesmaids or wedding gowns; flower girl dresses, wedding veils, mother-of-the bride dresses, shoes and even boy?s tuxedos. Everyone is invited to register for door prizes to be awarded during the day.

Tuesday many lovely gowns of all sizes and styles were making their way to the consignment racks, many with matching shoes and accessories.

One particular unique set of four matching, never-been-worn bridesmaids gowns are just waiting for some lucky customer.

?That?s the nice thing about this sale,? said Brooks. You never know what you are going to find!?

The sale will be held Saturday beginning at 10 a.m. and running until 6 p.m. at 110 Market Street downtown, across from the fire department.
