Consign49 Fall/Holiday 2018 Consignment Event
November 15-18, 2018 – 9AM
Consign49
Raven Hall, Alaska State Fairgrounds
FREE Admission
How would you like to shop from a selection of thousands of items at 50%-90% off of retail, all under one roof? Consign49 is a 4-day event held each spring and fall, in which over 200 local community members bring new and gently-used clothing, accessories and home décor items together to form a large-scale resale pop-up. Each consignor individually prices and tags each item, and items are dropped off approximately one day before the sale begins.
Consgin49 volunteers work to organize all items, so everything can be easily shopped according to category and size. There is also a dedicated boutique section, in which local boutiques have brand new items for sale, some of which at discounted prices. In addition, there is “vendor row”, where approximately 20 local businesses will have booths for sharing their products and services.
The event benefits all involved and is recycling at its best! Consignors get to clear out items from their homes, while earning some extra cash for the holidays. Shoppers get the opportunity to buy brand-name items or much needed seasonal items for a fraction of retail prices. Additionally, many items that go unsold at the end of the event will be donated to local charities in need.
The Consign49 Fall/Holiday 2018 Event will be held November 15th-18th at Raven Hall at the Alaska State Fairgrounds in Palmer, Alaska. Admission and parking are free, all major credit cards are accepted, and dressing rooms are available for trying on clothing items. Hours are 9am–8pm, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and from 9am–5pm on Sunday. On Sunday the 18th, many remaining items will be marked half-price, depending on whether the individual consignor has chosen to put the item into the half-price sale.

Additionally, a limited number of vendor spaces are available. Please send an email to info@consgin49.com for more information.
