🚫 SHOW ENDS AT 3PM (DON’T PACK EARLY!)

Please don’t start packing up before 3:00 PM on Sunday — shoppers are still thrifting like pros. 

If you pack early, Jen will notice.
And yes… she remembers. 👀 Don’t end up on her Naughty List.

🧺 Donation trucks arrive at 3:30 PM Sunday.

Who Takes What:

At 3:00 PM, we’ll start collecting at the back of the building (aka Donation HQ).
Our team will direct you. Space is limited — first come, first served!

📦 LOAD-OUT

Here’s the plan when the show ends at 3PM:

• Please help us by removing tape on the floor.

• Wait until your booth is fully packed before bringing your vehicle to load.

• Think “pack first, car later.” It keeps things moving and avoids gridlock.

🗑️ TRASH
