HOMERUNS is a consignment sale for your "in style" and gently used furniture and home decor.  This addition Reruns Are Fun has been beneficial to all involved.  Bring your "not needed anymore" couch OR bedroom furniture OR dining table OR painting OR mirror OR any home accessory. Anything (furniture and accessories) you would have in your home, we'll take --- EXCEPT appliances (no televisions or computers either) and mattresses/pillows.

 

Consigning with HOMERUNS is the same as RERUNS ARE FUN (children's consignment sale). If you consign with both sales, (RERUNS ARE FUN AND HOMERUNS) you'll pay ONLY ONE PARTICIPANT FEE and receive one check.  The only difference is the HOMERUNS receiving date, HOMERUNS participant sale and HOMERUNS limited sale dates.  The 1/2 Price Sale concludes BOTH sales on Sunday, September 19. 

 

Please remember, only those who have placed items in the HOMERUNS Sale will be invited to shop at the HOMERUNS Participant Only Sale!  HOMERUN Participants will receive a pass when they drop off their items.
