Local mom organizes children’s sale to benefit area families

CHESTERFIELD, IN - Ring Around the Rosey began out of a dream of a local stay-at-home mom to be able to have one place for gently used, good quality, and reasonably priced items for her family and the families of Delaware and Madison County. “I would go from yard sale to yard sale or look online, trying to find decent items for my fast-growing children, and decided that there must be a better way to do this,” said owner, Trina Knight.

Ring Around the Rosey is a semi-annual consignment event that gives local parents the ability to easily sell their outgrown/unused baby, children and maternity items to other parents who can use them for their own families. Participating families bring their quality children and maternity clothing, toys, furniture and baby equipment to Ring Around the Rosey’s sale location (Millcreek Civic Center, 17 Veterans Blvd., Chesterfield, IN).

What: 5th, Semi-Annual, Baby, Children and Maternity Consignment Event. Open to the public.

When: April 17, 18, 19, 2008.

Where: Millcreek Civic Center, 17 Veterans Blvd.., Chesterfield, IN

RATR then returns 70% of the sales price to the consigning families, which allows them to earn some money on items that their children no longer need. Plus, they can use that extra money to find amazing deals on other things that they may need for their baby or child. “I'm so glad that there's now one place where I can easily sell my gently used childrens' items and even shop for new stuff for them while I’m there!" said local mom, Lane Schill.

At the end of the sale, consignors can donate their unsold items to a list of local charities including the Foster Parents Association and the Pregnancy Care Center in Anderson, two of the organizations that RATR is working with. The donated items will then be distributed directly to families that are currently in need of items. It truly is a win-win situation for everyone involved.
