Introducing the
GRANT/CLEVELAND COMMUNITY
SKI AND SNOWBOARD SWAP
Since skiing and snowboarding both require specialized equipment and clothing, the Grant and Cleveland High Ski Racing Teams are hosting our fourth annual event - the GRANT/CLEVELAND COMMUNITY SKI AND SNOWBOARD SWAP.
Individuals, families, local shops (like The Mt. Shop and Ski Chalet), local manufacturers (like Solstice), and national companies (like Blizzard and Atomic) are all attending. All you have to do is bring stuff to sell (if you wish), and be ready to take home some bargains. This is no small time event... last year we did nearly $30 thousand dollars in sales! We had bargain basement prices on new equipment - some of it current model - and yard sale prices on demo, rental, and used equipment.
Three years ago we created this community-based event promoting the buying and selling of ski and snowboard gear and clothing by individuals and families. Seeking a WIN-WIN event, the ski racing team provided the forum and did the groundwork to make the swap fun and valuable. Now we are making it an annual tradition, benefiting local merchants, the high school ski teams, and participating families for years to come. Need snow sport stuff, come on over. Want to sell your old gear, bring it in, we've got buyers.
Mark November 22nd and 23rd on your calendars. Come to the Budweiser building on the corner of 37th and NE Sandy between 8:00 am and noon on Saturday to drop-off your stuff to sell. The sale hours are from noon to 5:00 pm on Saturday, then 10:00 am to 2:00 pm on Sunday.
Your admission donation of $2 per individual or $5 per family will let you eat free popcorn, see some Warren Miller videos, and shop for some incredible winter sports gear deals. Additionally, fitness experts from the Alameda Fitness Center will be providing ski/snowboard fitness assessments including strength, agility, and flexibility to help you target your workout needs and improve your skiing enjoyment.
The 30% commission on goods sold will help support the Grant and Cleveland Ski Racing Teams. By taking part in this fun community event, we can help keep our students off the streets and on the slopes!
Think snow and see you at the best swap in the metro area!
