We are unloading all of our unwanted goods. Its probably trash but maybe someone wants it? We will be practicing all the COVID guidelines. This is a parking lot sale so no drinks allowed on premise. Masks required, social distancing enforced, sanitizer provided, etc. We will do our best to disinfect goods sold — they have not been touched in 2.5 months though so they’re probably cool!
