Let me know how many tables you will need.
I will reply back with where you can send payment.
There is no admittance charge for lookers and shoppers.
This year I want to do something different. As we have so many more tables and so much more space I will allow people to bring tag sale items as well, as long as they are child- or schooling-related. If you have desk- or work-space items, art and craft supplies, kids clothes and toys and such, feel free to bring them along with your curriculum if you wish. Last year a few of you had asked and I had to say no as the church was too small. The scout hall we will use this year is quite roomy so we can add more items.
Children most welcome! My kids have always loved used curriculum fairs, and always manage to find neat-stuff like science kits and models, leisure reading materials, games and more.
The sellers set their own prices. Please make sure you label carefully or put up signs. Any kind of educational materials are acceptable, from kits to books, everything from art to science and more. Shoppers who are new to these kinds of fairs, you will find games, puzzles, toys, books, videos, study guides, text books, workbooks and other traditional curriculum materials. There are usually many free items as well.
If you are done with your Sonlight, Oak Meadow, Saxon, Critical Thinking Press, Charlotte Mason, Montessori, A Beka to name a few, bring them along and turn them into cash.
SHOPPERS: Plan to bring cash. With many items at tag-sale prices it doesn't make sense to write a check for a couple dollars. Also, some vendors cannot take personal checks, so cash is best.
Please tell friends about this used curriculum fair. The vendors go to so much effort packing up all those books and things and then hauling them to the fair.
VENDORS: I will designate an area for “Free” materials. You can leave any items that you are donating in this space, but make sure to take the unclaimed items home with you at the end of the evening.
Also, vendors, I will get a menu from Henry’s Pizzeria, which is located a half a mile from the scout hall. I am told they have good pizza, subs and salads. I will pass around a clipboard with the menu(s) and we can call in one group order. You are also welcome to bring your own dinner if you'd like. There is a kitchen with a refrigerator, oven/stove, and microwave that we can use.
Let me know if you can come early to help set up tables and chairs. You will be responsible for putting away your own tables/chairs at the end of the fair. You should plan to bring a dolly or hand-truck if you own one. It makes getting all those boxes moved so much faster. 
Hope to see you at the Used Curriculum Fair!
