At the GRVC Super Sale

 

It was a good day for a deal on Saturday at Johnson Park, where vendors were set up with used items, homemade crafts and art. You could even get a massage if you were up for it.

"We were slammed for the first hour and a half," Samantha Hollo, a vendor said. She was pleased with how the day had gone.

Things slowed down a little after that, but at least the spurts of customers, as another vendor described it, were constant.

Steve Ullakko showed off the coasters and trivets he made by hand as well as some of the items he and his wife had brought back from Finland.

"We had to leave one suitcase worth of clothes in Finland just to get them home," he laughed.

Another woman showed off eggs that had been hand painted by her son, who was deaf.

At one table was a box of old sheet music. According to the woman at the table, many curious people had stopped by just to go through that box and look at each one. The box had gotten a lot lighter, a few sheets at a time.

The mood was festive, even at the end of the day and most people seemed to be having a good time. They were already talking about next year.

Dale Dutcher declared Genie Cary's nautical themed wares to be the highlight of the sale. Steve Ullakko displayed his woodwork. At time to take down, and Rachael and John Wolford were still smiling. Georgene (George) Scott had a great day and was in a bargaining mood, hoping she wouldn't have to pack quite as much before heading home.
