The public can begin shopping at 4 p.m. with the purchase of a $5 ticket, and the sale opens to the general public for free at 5 p.m., lasting until 8 p.m. No strollers or children are allowed at the sale on Thursday.
On Friday, the sale runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., with all items half-price after noon.
The sale benefits the Vestavia Day School. Clothing items, toys and baby products are normally available.
