The 2009 Great Attic Classic
Exceeds Expectations ::
A Heartfelt Thanks to All Volunteers and Sponsors
We blogged about it. We even tweeted. We posted photos
on FaceBook, and stumbled upon the perfect recipe: one
part extremely generous donors, one part excited bargain
hunters, and one part hard-working volunteers. Mix well
(shaken or stirred) for a highly successful and unbelievably
enjoyable 6th annual Great Attic Classic Tag Sale &
Silent Auction.
Thanks to the five event sponsors: Salisbury Bank and
Trust Company, Prindle Insurance Agency, Grey House
Publishing, Sharon Optical and UpCountry Services; the
generous donation of wine from Sharon resident Ira Smith
- proprietor of the Kent Wine and Spirit Shop; the over
45 volunteers who unpacked boxes, hauled furniture,
priced items, and set up sales displays inside and out;
not to mention those community members who donated such
wonderful wares to be sold; the museum raised over $28,000,
exceeding our more modest expectations.
"We owe so much to the group of women who long-ago
created this event, believing in its longevity," said
Liz Shapiro, museum director. "It takes a minimum of
50 volunteers to pull this off, and I owe our success
to each and every one of them."
One final word: Save your stuff - or give us a call
now. The next Attic Classic will be held July 1, 2 and
3rd, 2011. We begin collecting items for 2011 our sale
immediately!
