Is there anything that I can do to help? Also, should we bring folding chairs/beach chairs?

Chairs well we have a fair amount and stairs to sit on, but it's only 4 hours and I think people will mostly be standing and wandering around, but I guess it doesn't hurt

Maybe I need a cleanup crew! A few people could come a bit early or even just people to help tell people where to put their sale things, food, drink etc. It will be fairly obvious but just so I don't have to be the only one IN-the-know! I think I'll start drinking at 9am, that should be fine, right?

We'll bring a few chairs just in case you need them. We can leave them in the trunk and bring them out only if they are needed. We'll also volunteer to help either before or after or both! Just let me know! It will be me, my dear hubby, my 25 year old daughter, and my 9 year old daughter.

Cheryl, Those are fantastic! I have to have one!!!!

We are almost out of chicken feed and need to make a trip to the feed store. I'll definitely donate the bag if I can get one!

Taking a poll of sorts, what would you pay for one?
$15?
$18?
$20?

How big are they? Of course, in this economy the lower price is more attractive but I would probably pay $18 for one. I would have to think about it a little longer if they were $20.

Thanks for the feedback, they are 12" wide, 15" tall with a very generous 7" side and bottom gusset

I can really make about any size, but this way I can get two out of each feed bag

They look nice Cheryl! I personally wouldn't pay more than $18 for one, especially if it's something I could make myself.

I'll make sure to bring my empty pink bags of Layena to the party with me to donate to your cause!

My birds will all be in their cages (sorry but please please please make sure your clothes and shoes haven't been around the sick baby chick) so sorry

Yep, gotcha. Maybe you didn't notice, but I posted that a couple of pages ago. I will be super duper careful, no worries. I only wear a certain pair of tennis shoes and jogging pants when I'm out back so unless I come to the swap looking like a hobo....you have nothing worry about.

So, I will have room for possibly 2 others in my car Sunday morning, I'll be arriving at Cheryl's house a couple hours early to help with set up. I plan on being there around 9 AM. Which means I'll be leaving Oakland by 8:30 at the very latest.

Is there anyone in Oakland, Alameda, San Leandro, Berkeley... or the general area that is going to need a ride?

DOOR PRIZES WOOHOO WOOHOO WOOHOO

I've been working on some of the local feed stores and online companies. Just got a wonderful donation of MANY gift certificates from www.eggcartons.com!!!
