Market on the Mountain features “high-quality merchandise at a fraction of retail costs,” said Mindy Strevy, assistant director of Mountaintots Christian Day School.
The semiannual Market on the Mountain children’s and maternity consignment sale, which benefits the Mountaintots Christian Day School in Vestavia Hills, will be Friday, March 4, from 9 a.m.-6 p.m., and Saturday, March 5, from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Registration for consignors and volunteers opened Thursday, Jan. 14.
As the only fundraiser held for Mountaintots, the sale features “high-quality merchandise at a fraction of retail costs,” said Mindy Strevy, the school’s assistant director.
Market on the Mountain, which was first held in the fall of 2008, typically attracts about 225 consignors and at least 1,000 shoppers, according to Strevy, who said Mountaintots plans to use proceeds from upcoming sales to update and purchase new technology for its teachers and students.
Consignors receive 70 percent of their sales and get to shop the preview sale, while the event’s volunteers get the earliest access to shopping, according to the event website.
The March sale will be the spring/summer installment of the fundraiser, which is also held in the fall.
Mountaintots — a ministry of Mountaintop Community Church — offers three-and five-day programs, as well as early care and after-care. For more information about the school, go to mountaintotsdayschool.com.
