Print Story | Email Story

GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — Thousands of gently used children's clothing items and accessories are now being sorted, tagged and organized for the CHP Children's Attic Consignment tent sale on Sept 10-11 at CHP in Great Barrington. 

The open sale takes place Saturday, Sept. 10 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Sunday, Sept. 11, 9 a.m. to noon. More than 5,000 items of fall and winter clothing, toys and accessories have been counted so far, with more to come between now and sale weekend.

"We are so excited to bring back Children's Attic, which was on hiatus for two years because of Covid-19," said Mary Feuer, director of CHP Family Services. "Our seller turnout has been strong, and this is a great way for families with growing children to keep up with clothing needs at affordable prices."

Children's Attic is a longstanding CHP tradition, and the sale proceeds are shared between the consignment sellers and CHP Family Services. This year, nearly 100 sellers have signed up to participate, and many more have simply donated used clothing to CHP for the sale.

The event also depends on community volunteers to help sort clothing and prepare the tent for buyers. Volunteers also get early-bird shopping privileges on the pre-sale, Friday, Sept. 9, 5-7 p.m. Interested volunteers are invited to call (413) 528-0457 for information.

Consignment sellers have until Tuesday, Sept. 6 to register and tag their items for sale. The registration packet can be found at chpberkshires.org/childrens-attic.

CHP is located at 444 Stockbridge Road, Great Barrington.
