Hello SOS Yard Sale Vendor!  

 

We hope you are just as excited about this weekend's yard sale as we are! Here is what you can expect for this weekend’s event at the Boys & Girls Club of Central NH, 55 Bradly St. Concord, NH.  

 

Early Load in on this Friday evening: 

• For those who have purchased early in access, please plan on arriving between 6pm & 8pm this Friday, March 1st. Please bring an ID for check-in. If you are sending someone else in your place, please let me know. I will make a note.  

• Please check-in before loading in your items.  

• We need to be out of the building no later than 8:15, as the building will be locked, and the alarm will be activated.  

• If you have not purchased early access & would like to add it now, please let me know and I’ll send you a text or email with the link to pay. It is $5.00.  

• The building will be locked & alarm activated, but you may still want to cover your items with a sheet or blanket until you arrive the next morning, just to be safe.  

• You may arrive Saturday morning starting at 7am to set up your spot.  

 

Saturday Load In:  

• For those that did not purchase early entry, you may begin accessing the building by 7am. Please check in before you start loading your items in.  

• You may enter & load in until 8:30am. You will want to make sure you are set up & ready to go, as the doors open at 9am sharp! 

• You will be given a sticker that says “Vendor” that must be worn on Saturday. You may have up to 3 “Vendor” stickers. Stickers will be given at time of check-in.  

 

For those that rented a 10-foot table:  

• Your spots will be assigned to you. This should make it easier for guests to navigate the event.  

• For those that reserved a 10-foot table, your table will be in your spot. If it is not, please reach out to one of the volunteers.  

• Remember, there is no power in your reserved spot. The gym has very limited power outlets that are high up on the walls & not easy to access without a ladder. It’s a safety issue.  

• Folding chairs will be available by request at no charge.  

Your entry Fee/ Money Earned:  

• You have already paid your entry fee and additional fees for early in and a table. That means all the money you earn from sales is yours!  

• Try to make it easy for your customer to pay & purchase your items. Have your own cash ready to make change.  

• You may want to set up a Venmo or PayPal QR code for people to pay instantly. We want to make this an enjoyable event for everyone. The easier it is for your customer to pay, the more time they can spend shopping!  

• We will not have smaller bills. Please make sure to have a small amount with you.  

Scouts are there to help: 

• Remember, the Troop Scouts will be there to help you carry items into the building & out at the end, for a small donation of your choice. 

• Our scouts will help your customers bring items to their cars, for a small donation.  

• Remember, it’s a fundraiser to help pay for scouting dues & camp. FYI: It now costs between $1000-$1200 to be a member of scouts & camp. This event is to help bring the costs back down, so all kids can participate. We do have a few families that have multiple children in the program, so you can imagine how expensive it can get! Any amount will help the cause!  

Unsold Items/ Clean Up:  

• The event ends promptly at 2pm. All sales must be final at that time.  

• You are responsible for cleaning up your spot and removing all unsold items & trash.  

• Failing to clean up your spot by allotted time will result in exclusion from future events & possibly a “clean-up charge” to your credit card. Please be considerate of others and take responsibility for cleaning up after yourself. Your cooperation is essential in ensuring the success of this event and the ultimate goal of raising money for the kids. Thank you for your understanding and support. 

• Our scouts would be more than happy to help carry unsold items back to your vehicle.  

• The building must be vacant & the gym clean by 3pm as there is another event at the Club right after ours.  

• We as scouts live by the “Leave No Trace” code. It means we always leave a place cleaner than we found it. Please join us by following the code. The Boys & Girls Club have been so gracious to let us use their space at no cost. Let’s return the favor by keeping it clean.  

Food & Beverages:  

• There will be food & drinks available to purchase in the lunchroom.  

• Pizza is being donated by Constantly Pizza all day.  

• Hotdogs, juice, water, beef sticks & snacks are available for purchase.  

• No food or drink will be allowed in the gym.  

• The scouts will be hosting the snack bar with proceeds going back to support the scouts.  

 

Please remember to get on social media and let everyone know that they should stop by the event this Saturday between 9am & 2pm to shop and purchase your items. 

​​

We appreciate your support and dedication to scouting. Your involvement and contributions make a significant impact on our organization and help us provide valuable experiences for our scouts. We look forward to seeing you at future events and working together to ensure the success of our scouting programs. Thank you for being part of our scouting community! 

 

Yours in scouting ~ Marc “Nazzy” Nazzaro
