SALE AWAY, SALE AWAY, SALE AWAY…
Have a pile of books you no longer read? Movies you never watch? Clothes that don’t fit anymore? Random tchotchkes taking up space in your place? Bring ‘em on down to our second community sale!
This time we have partnered with local anime and collectible shop Fragmented Nostalgia to host a bazaar where you can give your old stuff new life by buying, selling, or trading with others!
These events are partially a fundraiser for Anime Fusion (owned by QCA, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit) – however, this is a noteworthy one since it’s our first joint event and at such an excellent location. Because of this, we’re waiving table fees as a special promotion!
We still encourage and welcome donations of course – you can do so through our home page or on site via our QR code or good ol’ cash!
The Bazaar will be held at the Maplewood Mall on July 12th. The mall is located at 3001 White Bear Ave in North St Paul, 55109 and is accessible by public transportation! It is currently planned to run from 10am to 6pm, though you are welcome to stay until the mall closes at 8pm.
For sellers: At this particular event we will accept random individuals, independent artists, and small-business makers. There will be light jurying as part of the acceptance process.
