💸 SUNDAY SALE

Sunday is Secret Sale day.

Traffic is typically 30–40% of Saturday, so consider marking down items to move inventory (not required, just encouraged).

🚫 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.

💕 DONATIONS

Want to leave lighter than you came? Our nonprofit partners have your back:
🧺 Donation trucks will be ready at 3:30 PM Sunday

📦 LOAD-OUT

We haven’t even fully loaded in yet — but here’s the plan when the show ends at 3PM:

• 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

Please don’t leave trash, broken items, or mystery boxes behind.
If you brought it in, sell it, donate it, or pack it out.
