Bannertown Fire Dept. Ladies Auxiliary still taking consignments

The Bannertown Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary will host the third Super 75 Kidz Closet Consignment Sale, with a spring/summer theme, on Friday from 6 to 9 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. This year, there is a new location for the sale - Fountain of Life Family Worship Center, in the former House of Bounce location.

This year the group is allowing juniors sizes and clothing for teenagers, in addition to kids' sizes.

Those who consign items set their own prices, and receive 70 percent of the sale price. Some consigners choose to mark their items down half-price for the sale on Saturday.

A portion of the proceeds - 30 percent from each item - go to the Bannertown Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary group. Andrea Freeman, organizer of the sale and member of the ladies auxiliary, said the group assists firefighters responding to emergency scenes by providing food and drinks. The group also assists families who lose everything in a fire and provide a free Community Day in May at the Bannertown Fire Department.

"This keeps growing and it has been a wonderful fundraiser for us. We get to meet a lot of new people and share what we do, because we aren't just for Bannertown - our firefighters respond to multiple areas and run calls for Franklin, Four Way, Pilot Knob, Ararat, Westfield, etc. It's important we all work together to keep them safe and that's our job with the ladies auxiliary. We make sure they are well-nourished so they can do their jobs," Freeman shared.

The ladies auxiliary conducted a survey at last year's sale and discovered people wanted clothing for teenagers and kids, and Freeman said they are excited to add that to this year's sale.

Other items that may be consigned, in addition to kids' and teenagers' clothing, are shoes, accessories, toys, baby gear, strollers, high chairs, pack and plays, bathtubs, furniture, baby bedding, cribs, books, maternity clothing, diaper bags, handbags, outdoor items, bicycles, power wheels, sports gear, bathing suits, pool toys, items for new parents, and more. Freeman added that this is a great chance to sale old Easter outfits and buy new Easter clothing at discount prices.
