Everyone loves a bargain! Gather families together to get rid of their used furniture, toys, garden equipment, kitchen gear, etc. Talk to professional vendors in your community, and invite them to!
Prep Steps:
1) Gather goods to sell. Engage families, neighbors, friends, etc in this effort. Be sure to reach out to professional flea market vendors, too by visiting flea and antique markets in your area. Decide what percentage of sales will go to your playspace project.
2) Choose a large space for your flea market. Designate spaces for each vendor.
3) Advertise your event.
Materials:
1) Space large enough for a big community sale!
2) Flyers
Helpful Hint: Consider combining this with some kind of food sales (subway sandwiches, popcorn, pancake brunch, etc.) Some communities have made just as much, if not more, from food sales than the sale of goods!
TIP! If you can find a large outdoor parking lot for a venue, designate each parking space as a “booth.”
