JBF Sale! (Just Between Friends) - Puyallup

Thanks to a twitter friend of mine, another Tacoma mom, I didn't miss the JBF sale at the Puyallup Fairgrounds. This it's a big consignment sale that carries all kinds of baby and childrens items.

Fall 2011 Sale Event Friday, October 21 - Sunday, October 23 Volunteer & Consignor Presale October 20 Puyallup Fair & Events Center. I can't find times listed, but I think it starts at 10am and on Sat lasts until 7pm or so. If I remember last year correctly.

Sign Up to Shop, Consign or Volunteer

Shop 30,000 square feet of quality used children's and maternity items (and some new) at unbelievably low prices! Plus, we offer early shopping for pre-registered First Time Parents and Military Families.

If I remember correctly, there is a small entrance fee to get in and the event gets a little crowded. But, if you have boys like me and have a hard time finding gently used clothing above sz 5, then this is a great event! (boys typically have less clothes than their female counterparts, and are mine are not easy on the hardware with all the puddle stomping). Individual sellers are not limited in sizes.
