04/26/2016 06:00 PMFor Chester residents who want to sell what they no longer need, now is the time to join their neighbors in the annual Chester Town-Wide Tag Sale on Saturday, May 28. For the fifth year in a row, the Chester Republican Town Committee is organizing this 25-year event, which brings thousands of people to Chester for a day of tag sale buying, eating, and shopping.
To sell stuff, get on the map. The organizers print a map that directs traffic to each registered participant. Those listed on the map must be Chester residents or, if a business, have a sales address in Chester.
Listing forms are available through Kris at kris.seifert@gmail.com and at LARK! in the town center. The listing fee is $10 for residences or businesses or $25 for businesses that wish to include a small 1 ½” by 1 ½” advertisement. Deadline for inclusion in the map is Wednesday, May 25 to enable the printing of the map. But don’t wait, space fills up quickly.
To buy stuff, get the map. As shoppers enter town on May 28, they’ll see friendly volunteers selling maps ($1) that give the locations of every vendor.
Proceeds from listing fees, map sales, and advertising on the map are used to promote the event throughout Connecticut. Net proceeds from this event benefit the Chester Republican Town Committee’s general fund. For more information, email kris.seifert@gmail.com or call 860-526-8440 or 714-878-9658.
