KENT — The Kent Sidewalk Sale Days and St. Andrew’s popular tag sale both attracted crowds of bargain hunters Thursday, Aug. 3 through Sunday, Aug 6.
Merchants on, and around, Main Street began Thursday with tents and tables loaded with generously discounted merchandise, and beautiful sunny weather shone on happy shoppers.
Golden Falcon field was set aside for non-profit organizations: the Republican and Democratic town committees, the Kent Land Trust, affordable housing ogranizations and others.
A notable first time participant was Kellsie’s Hope Foundation, dedicated to helping children’s cancer cause.
Friday saw the opening of St Andrew’s tag sale. Always hugely well attended, this year, eager early shoppers could pay a small fee to enter some time before the waiting crowds.
This is no ordinary “unload your stuff” tag sale. The donated merchandise is extraordinary in its quantity, variety, and quality. Between the two events, no question, there was something there someone had to have.
