How does it work?
Sellers arrive with their gear between 7:30am – 8:30am. They will be directed to a “booth” where they can set up their gear. Price tags will be provided for items.
The event will begin at 9:00am through 3:00pm.
Sellers must remain present at the event to accept purchases. (We recommend bringing a chair to set up by your gear.)
Please be prepared to accommodate cash, check, venmo, paypal, and/or other popular transaction methods. Transactions will occur directly between sellers and buyers (FOR will not mediate transactions).
🙏 There will be a 10% recommended donation to Friends of the River. Larger donations are greatly appreciated! Some sellers may elect to donate up to 100% of the profits to FOR.
*All gear must be taken by the end of the day. Unsold items must be taken home.
☕ Light snacks and drinks will be available for purchase.
