Dear Potential Jumble Sale Vendor:

 

 

In the 1800s, villages in England held rummage sales during festivals.  The Beaufort Historical Association’s annual Jumble Sale, based on this historic premise, will be held at the Beaufort Historic Site Saturday, November 22nd . The grounds will be available for vendors to rent space to sell crafts, art, holiday gifts, books, food, clothing or pre-loved treasures.

 

Hours will be from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm.  We ask that everyone please keep his or her space open for business until 3 pm, although you may continue to sell after that.  Everything must be off the grounds by 5:00 pm.  A vendor application with guidelines and current booth pricing is enclosed.  

 

We strongly request that vendors do not set-up until Saturday morning (as early as you like) due to the absence of security on Friday night.  If you choose to set up Friday evening, please be aware that because there is no evening security, BHA cannot be held responsible in any way for any damages, theft or any act of vandalism. (See attached Terms and Conditions.)

 

As this is a fund-raising event for the BHA, it will be held rain or shine and there will be no refunds due to inclement weather.  All funds raised are used for the continued restoration and preservation of the Historic Site buildings. 

 

Thank you for your interest in this year’s Jumble Sale. I look forward to hearing from you soon. If you have any questions or want more information, please don’t hesitate to call me at (252) 728-5225 or (800) 575-7483.

 

 

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

Kelsie Kirkland

Public Relations Director
