Clothing Swap
The weather is definitely getting better for garage sales but what if you could shop indoors and not pay a dime to walk out with a bag of goods? Wouldn't that be amazing? Well pack up your reusable bags and head to the Grand Rapids Public Library on Saturday, April 24th from 10am-3pm. They are hosting a fantastic event called Looks Better On You. People bring in clothing and accessory items they don't want any more and they can look through stuff that people have already dropped off and take what they want. There's no requirements or minimums or anything of the sort. It's a straight up swap. Actually, if you don't have anything to swap I think you can still take things. I saw that happen last year and it wasn't a problem. So maybe you should schedule this in your garage sale time this weekend. The even is taking place at the main library in the auditorium I believe.
