Punta Chivato Garage Sale w/ pics & more pics

Russ - 11-10-2010 at 11:10 AM

Proceeds go to charities
I just dropped off my last load of treasures and took a few photos of the ladies sorting & pricing all the goods that have been dropped of thus far. Oh, you should hear the ladies jabbering:tumble: I hope there is enough things to sale when they've finished today:o Seems everyone that is dropping something off sees something they want/have to have. I think only about half of the treasures have arrived so far but here's what it looks like so far.
Look for this sign:



Then this building














Here's the first post I did for this event. It has the flier. http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=48913#pid5641...

I should have blurred the photos. I've had 3 people contact me with requests.
Sorry, I'll be going later after the sale has been going awhile to buy Lunch & a drink (or two) and shoot a couple pics of the fun. I don't do request. Even for a good cause.:(

Really like the first picture... that white sandy road... going off into the distance.. brings back memories of many moons.. and to see your keeping the battery up on Bubba... it's all good... good to see so many people up and about...

Keeps my sprits up... thanks...

Russ - 11-10-2010 at 12:08 PM

Thanks for the reminder.
The road is now in the best shape it has been in years.

BajaBlanca - 11-10-2010 at 06:38 PM

I am going to bring some stuff to donate to this great cause !! Can't wait to meet everyone and find some goodies to boot :tumble:

Russ - 11-10-2010 at 06:41 PM

I'll try to get up there tomorrow and take a couple more pics.

More pics

Russ - 11-11-2010 at 12:03 PM

No Sales Before 11am
That's official! There was some understanding that Americans would be allowed to buy prior to the official start time. Not True!
With that cleared up here's today pics
Bubbas last load

I've already mentioned you'll be in early with treasures and yes there will be chile, hot dogs,beer & sodas & a lot of baked goods. I've heard several announcements requesting baked goods. It'll be a party!

BajaBruno - 11-11-2010 at 06:41 PM

Nice shop you have there, Russ. I'm envious.

Russ - 11-11-2010 at 08:22 PM

Oh, I only wish that was my shop. It is part of the lumberyard complex and the owner has donated it for our event.

WHAT A DAY

BajaBlanca - 11-12-2010 at 06:55 PM

Well, the swap meet was a HUGE success. We arrived at 9:30 to finish up pricing, the sale was to start at 11 and there was already a crowd standing outside ! In the end, I believe there were almost 100 people to shop !!

Every single hotdog was sold.
Every single baked good was sold.
Not every beer was sold (imagine that !!)
That whole room boiled down to stuff we could fit in the back of our titan truck.

A fun day, hard work and tiring, but fun.
