GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. —  After a three-year hiatus, the Children’s Attic Consignment Sale returns Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 10 and 11, and sellers are invited to sign up now to participate.  

“Now is the time to sign up as a seller, especially for anyone who may have been holding onto their children’s clothing, toys and accessories for the past couple of years,” says Mary Feuer, director of CHP Family Services. “We expect this will be a big, fun and lively event this year.” 

The county’s longest-running sale of children’s clothing and accessories was on hiatus during the COVID-19 pandemic. The September sale is for fall and winter items only. The tent sale takes place at CHP’s main campus, 444 Stockbridge Road, Great Barrington.

CHP has adopted a new system for consignment sellers wishing to participate, and the details and a seller’s packet can be found on the CHP website. Sellers who have previously participated are asked to sign up again using the new system. 

The seller’s packet details what items are acceptable for the sale, how to track and tag items, and instructions for selling toys and accessories. Children’s clothing up to size 16 is accepted. 

In addition to seeking consignment sellers, CHP is also seeking volunteers to help with the event. Volunteers are eligible for a special early-bird pre-sale, Friday, Sept. 9, 5-7 p.m. 

Children’s Attic is a longstanding CHP tradition for CHP Family Services, which provides programming, playgroups and education for families with young children in Southern Berkshire. Proceeds from the consignment sale are shared between sellers (70%) and CHP Family Services (30%).

At its August meeting, the board was presented with three options: ClearPath, an MAPC model, and an in-house Excel model. 
 
After reviewing each platform, the committee selected the MAPC model because of its consistency and comparability with the state, user-friendliness, and sources included.
 
The platform is completely free and was built by the Metropolitan Area Planning Council in Massachusetts, said Cisco Tomasino, BlueStrike climate and events manager.
 
Since it was built in Massachusetts for Massachusetts, it is the most popular model used by many towns in the state, he said. 
 
Committee Chair David Wasielewski said MAPC is his initial preference as it will allow the town to compare its data with other towns. 
 
The state can "more or less control that kind of information" and the town has to keep monitoring the, Wasielewski said. The committee unanimously agreed
