THANK YOUI

Words cannot truly express the THANK YOU that our Landlovers Board owes to our 550 volunteers and nearly 2,000 customers for supporting this year’s Flea Market. I also cannot describe the sighs of relief from our organized and dedicated Flea Market Chair Rib Rubin, our Fundraising Board Members Suzi and Tim Forbes and the many others as, on the day of our big sale, the skies cleared as predicated and the wind was blessedly and appropriately blocked by the building of our host, The Messiah Lutheran Church. Thank you all!

Now let’s talk about our follow-up event, Auctionmania. All indications are that we will have broken all records for this event. A sincere thank you to our Auctionmania Chairs Chris Lanigan and Maureen Mezei along with more (or in many cases the same) volunteers who worked diligently and tirelessly (well, on second thought, they were a bit tired) to beautifully organize the event and manage the bidding process.

Some of our newer members have asked what happens to the items not sold at the Flea Market or Auctionmania. The items not sold at the Flea Market are donated to The Salvation Army immediately after the sale, as a way to thank them for all the support provided Landlovers during the year and especially during the Flea Market. The merchandise not sold at Auctionmania is auctioned, sold to local antique dealers, or consigned on behalf of Landlovers with the net proceeds going to the Landlovers Foundation.
 
Please see the information below regarding the additional fun and fundraising events to come, Games Day on April 8, and our Home Tour on May 14 which has been on hiatus since 2019.
