green knights toy market

Get ready for the “Toy Trunk Treasures” at the Nottingham Elementary School parking lot on Saturday, April 27th, from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM! Knights, this is your chance to reserve a parking spot in the school parking lot and transform your parents’ car into a pop-up store for your old toys and kids-related items. Make sure your toys are in good condition because this sale is all about recycling and learning the value of things. You can set up a table or blanket in front of your car and create colorful posters to attract buyers. Let’s be eco-friendly in choosing decorations! After the sale, you can choose to donate any leftover items to a good cause. It’s not just a fun way to make some pocket money; it’s also a fantastic opportunity to learn about recycling, marketing, and giving back to the community.

Reserve your spot now by sending an email to the Green Knights at nhe.garden.coordinator@gmail.com or jill.legerstee@gmail.com. Spaces are limited! See you at the Toy Trunk Treasures Market organized by the Green Knights!
