Market on the Mountain

At Market on the Mountain, the sale starts Friday, Sept. 21 at 9 a.m. and lasts until 6 p.m., and continues Saturday, Sept. 22 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. A preview sale will occur on Sept. 20 for event volunteers and consigners.

Laird Crump, director of Mountaintop Christian Day School, said the event mainly features clothes, toys and other household items for infants and children, but it also has a few items for mothers and possibly furniture.

Crump said the event serves as a fundraiser for the preschool, helping offset the church’s cost.

Market on the Mountain will be held in the gym at Mountaintop Community Church, located at 225 Centerview Drive. The gym is across from the church.
