Children’s resale celebrating first anniversary
By Josie Sellers
Kelly Loper knew people
were going out of town for
children’s resales and want-
ed to give them this resource
locally. She accomplished
her goal with the Coshocton
County Kids St uff Sale,
which will celebrate its first
anniversary in March.
“I wanted to give the
community an opportunity
to buy and sell gently used
kids items,” Loper said. “I
know families can’t really
afford to shop new all the
time.”
The organization’s anni-
versary sale will be Satur-
day, March 14 from 10 a.m.
to 8 p.m.; Sunday, March
16 from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.;

from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. (half
price shopping day) at New
Beginnings Ministries, 331

“The March sale will
have all seasons of items,”
Loper said. “T here will

to juniors, shoes, outdoor
items and any thing kid-

The Coshocton County Kids Stuff Sale will celebrate its one-year anniversary this March. An anniversary
celebration will be held from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday, March 14, and shopping will continue March
16-17.
related — room décor, toys,
books, bedding and crafts.”
There also will be a spe-
cial anniversary celebration
on March 14.
“The first 50 customers
get free hot dogs, snacks
and d r in ks, and we will
have a drawing for a gift
basket and $10 gift certifi-
cate to be used at the March
sale,” Loper said.  
She plans to continue to
have three sales a year.
“Our March sale will be
anything kid-related, the
fall sale in August will be a
back-to-school sale and the
winter one in October will
be just winter items,” Loper
said. “We also will have
maternity items.”
The sale has grown to the
point it will now be held in
the church’s basement.
“There will be signs to
show you where the door
is,” Loper said.
A nyone i nterested i n
becoming a seller is encour-
aged to visit the Coshoc-
ton County Kids Stuff Sale
page. There is no cutoff date
for signing up as a seller,
but March 1 is the cutoff for
having items priced for you.
Message the group’s page
for more information.
“ I f yo u vol u n t e e r t o
help, you can get early pre-
view shopping and half-
price shopping,” Loper said.
“You also get 80 percent of
your profit compared to 75
percent. You don’t have to
be a seller in order to help
though. If you just help, you
would still get early shop-
ping time.”
Setup for the sale will be
from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and
drop-off from 2-5 p.m. on
Friday, March 13. Seller/
helper preview shopping
will then be from 5-8 p.m.
on March 13, and half-price
shopping day will be from
4-8 p.m. on Monday, March
16. Pickup options are 5-8
p.m. on Monday, March 17
and from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
on Tuesday, March 18.
“At the end of the sale,
sellers have the opportunity
to take their items back and
bring them to another sale
or leave them with us to be
donated to a children’s char-
ity,” Loper said. “We choose
who they go to based on the
year and who is in need.”
She encourages people to
come check out the sale and
see what they have to offer.
“The inventory changes
every sale based on what
people bring,” Loper said.
“Everything is gently used,
and prices are reasonable.
It’s very similar to sales in
Sugarcreek and Zanesville,
but I wanted to keep it local
to help people in the com-
munity.”
