  Preparation of Items
  Clothing
  Tables are provided to place the majority of clothing items. Limited racks and hangars are available for coats and other items that need to be hung up. Personal hangers are not accepted. Types of vendor tags include: filing/address labels, masking tape, printed tags. Please ensure your items are securely attached to your items with sticky label or safety pin (no stick pins). The description on the tag should identify if there are multiple pieces.
  
  
  Children’s Shoes
  We recommend using Ziploc bags for infant shoes. If shoes are too big for Ziploc bags, please tie them together using heavy duty string, ribbon or zip-ties. Punch a single hole through the top of your tag and then thread the string, ribbon or zip-tie through it. Please ensure your vendor tag is securely attached.
  
  
  Toys, Games & Puzzles
  If a toy has many pieces, you should secure them all in a Ziploc bag, use packaging tape or a clear plastic container to keep the pieces together. Make sure your vendor tag is visible and securely fastened to all toys. Although the toys tables are actively monitored throughout the sale, children will try to “play” with them during the sale.
  
  
  Larger Items
  Other items including furniture and larger outdoor items should have tags securely attached. Use tape on items if safety pins will not work.
