Vendors for space and donations of sale items are now being sought by Mattapoisett Friends Meeting for its next fund-raising event planned for Monday, October 13. Proceeds will be used to restore its historic 1827 meeting house.
The annual October sale will be held on the Monday holiday this year, instead of the usual Saturday, on the church grounds at 103 Marion Road (Route 6), East Mattapoisett, from 8:30 am – 1:00 pm.
Any saleable donation will be accepted except for electronics and large furniture. A receipt for income tax purposes, for the full value of item sold, will be given the donor by the church if requested. Prospective donors should call Brad Hathaway at 508-758-3579 for pickup before October 10.
One table this year will feature dozens of collectible vintage dolls and doll accessories, including an antique doll carriage and a Paris, Maine-built child’s table and chair set, and antique children’s books.
Limited indoor space is available for vendors at $20 a table. Outdoor space can be had for $10. Call Alan Harris at 508-748-0098 for reservations.
The estimated cost for restoration of the meeting house is set at $245,000. To date, more than $86,000 has been raised.
