Thank you Flea Market Vendors and Supporters!

On July 30th, 12 families assembled on Main Street in Placerville to sell their goods promising to donate 20% of their proceeds to IT! Although it was the hottest day this year, there was a flurry of activity relieving the sellers of much of their stock of treasures. Notes Chrissie Addison, coordinator: “We sold everything from furniture to wagons to dolls! Many town folk came through and I heard comments all day about the importance and appreciation of IT!” The result was $608 toward the purchase of a new light board to light up the shows.

Many folks helped make this event possible and kudos are due: Thanks to Phil Redden and Craig Zangari for loading up tents and boxes and for helping with set up. Thanks to Roger Filippelli for keeping us hydrated and with sales. Thanks to Beth Zangari for collecting donation items and selling them. Thanks to Paul Sobelman for helping with cleanup. Thanks to Craig and others who assisted with cleanup in the parking lot. And lastly, thanks to the families who donated items and brought tents and sold at the market.

We hope to do something more in the future so set aside your "treasures" and we’ll use them in our next sale to benefit IT!
