Market on the Mountain, Whale of a Sale consignments on tap

One February weekend will hold two chances to find discounts on gently-used children’s clothes and goods.

The Market on the Mountain and Whale of a Sale spring consignment sales will both be held the last weekend in February.

This is the 20th year for Market on the Mountain, organizer Kelly Gray said. More than 200 consignors will come to Mountaintop Community Church, 225 Centerview Drive, to sell children’s clothes and shoes, maternity clothing, toys and baby equipment. The event is free to the public.

“We are known for being very organized with a great selection of gently used items, for good prices. We are also known for being very warm and friendly,” Gray said.

This year’s sale will be open Friday, Feb. 23, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday, Feb. 24, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will also be a preview sale for Market on the Mountain volunteers and consignors, on Thursday, Feb. 22, from 5 to 8:30 p.m. Proceeds benefit Mountaintots Christian Day School.
