Fun and Frugal

Swap Til U Drop is back!  (It was originally scheduled for Sept 19-20 but had to be rescheduled and it is now Nov. 14-15.)

**Fun and Frugal readers get extra perks!  Read below for details.**

Don’t miss the fun at the Old Woolen Mill in downtown Cleveland on Saturday and Sunday, November 14 and 15 from 10am – 8pm.  SwapTilUDrop.net is hosting a swap & shop event.

Shop for like-new adult and children’s clothes, toys, handmade jewelry, candles, delicious desserts, new clothing items, and more.  They’ll even have goody bags, prize drawings, and discount coupons from local restaurants and merchants.  A British-style “Frock Swap” will be held at noon on Saturday.  To participate, bring great-looking outfits you never wear to trade for clothes and accessories you can’t wait to put on.  Trade your kids’ outgrown or barely worn clothes for ones that are just the right size.  You can even trade maternity clothes for baby clothes.

Pay $1 for each item you check in at the Swap and receive 1 shopping token per item.  You may buy one item in the Swap area for each shopping token you have.  If you bring 10 items to trade, you pay $10 and leave with 10 new-to-you items.  All Swap items will be inspected to be sure they are in like-new condition.  Tell the folks at Swap Til U Drop you found them on Fun and Frugal and trade 2 items for free!

Space is still available if you have items you want to consign or if you would like space to sell your own goods.  Complimentary space is also available for schools and churches interested in fundraising.  Bradley’s Freshman Academy will be manning the concession stand.  Consignors, earn an extra 5% by telling Swap Til U Drop you found them at Fun and Frugal! For details, to consign or sell, go to SwapTilUDrop.net or call 423.339.7119.  Their next event is at the East Ridge Community Center on March 13 & 14, 2010.

The Old Woolen Mill is in downtown Cleveland on Church Street.  Coming from Lee University on N. Ocoee towards downtown, turn left at the Monument.  Turn right on the first road onto Church Street.  You’ll pass the Cleveland Public Library on your right and First Baptist Church on your left.  Go straight through several stop signs and red lights and you’ll come to the Old Woolen Mill.  It looks like a run-down big brick building, but the inside has been renovated.  You’ll see a bridal shop window in the front of the building.
