I went and it was okay. You definitely have to be there when it starts. I got there 10 minutes late and all of the good things were already gone. To give you an idea of how big it was, I would say that Dani's Duds is large, the Christ Church sale is medium, and this is small. I wasn't too impressed with the clothing selection but I did get a couple of toys. Prices were okay, nothing too spectacular though. The thing I did like about it was that they had a whole fun fair with food and games upstairs. There were a lot of kids so I think it would be worth it to go do your shopping and then head upstairs for some fun with your kids.
Just got back from this sale. Can't say what was available earlier on in the morning (since we didn't arrive until 1pm). When we arrived, items were very disorganized - garage sale style - with piles of clothing on tables. Clothing was not in good condition, and was overpriced in general (even at half price). We did score a good deal on a nice crib ($25). It seems like it might work for us, though I do need to check its safety and recall status, but we figured at $25 its worth the risk of it not working out. Other than that, not much to be had after 1pm. But again, can't say what the situation looked like earlier on - it could be all the great stuff was gone!
I went and thought it was okay too. I didn't get there until about 1:15 so there were not a lot of toys or games left. However, I did get a couple of nice brand name shirts in good condition for a dollar a piece. I have been to better sales but I have also been to worse. There was some nice stuff but you definitely had to be willing to look.
