Rover Rescue's first barn sale of the year is almost here and we need a lot of volunteers to help this sale run smoothly. The sale is 6/5-6/7 from 8-4 on Friday and Saturday and 11-4 on Sunday at 5401 Rt. 71 in Oswego in the big red barn.
Starting Thursday, 6/4, at 10 a.m. we will start set up. We need an unlimited amount of people to help set up on Thursday and we go until we are done. Even if you can give a couple of hours it would be appreciated. Set up entails laying out tarps in the front yard and pulling all the donations that are under all the tables and in the stock area onto the tarps in the yard. We then organize the stuff that is on tables/shelves in the barn. This same thing happens down in the courtyard area behind the barn where we put as much stuff in the courtyard as possible and de-clutter all the tents.
On Friday, Saturday and Sunday we need to fill many shifts and we need a minimum of 9 people at each shift. This sale is EXTREMELY busy. Volunteers will do the following:
- Unload boxes (we get donations on sale days)
- As product is sold it empties off the tables and we can empty boxes from the front yard into the main barn
- Help customers load vehicles
- Continually clean up the tables and keep areas organized
- Hang clothes
- Keep all areas stocked
These are the shifts that need to be filled.
- Thursday starting at 10 am - ? to do set up
- Friday and Saturday the shifts are from 7-10:30, 10:30-1:30 and 1:30-4:30
- Sunday from 10-1:30, 1:30-4:30
Please call Teri at 630-897-7454 if you are available to help on any of these days. We have a GREAT TEAM, so let’s do it again this year and go for a record sales year!
