People were lined up outside the Shortreed Elementary gym well before the 1 p.m. start to the first $1 sale since the pandemic.
Good crowds showed up Friday, April 22, to pick up bargains and support the school鈥檚 parent advisory council (PCA) fundraiser.
There were deals to be had.
鈥淭hroughout the sale people found lots of great stuff, such as Air Jordan runners, a microwave, Party Lite candles, a prom dress, American Dolls with accessories, and a new fondue set,鈥� said Cashmere Roder, with the PAC.
The PAC used to hold the $1 sales in spring and fall but they were put on the hold for the last couple of years.
With their return the PAC can resume the popular fundraisers. The April 22 sale did well for the group that supports the students of Shortreed.
鈥淲e raised over $2,000, making it our best fundraiser yet,鈥� Roder said.
