Children's Day Yard sale


We just had Children's day here in Korea. Children's day is on May 5 and it is a national holiday. For children's day we went to a special Yard sale in a city park put on by a local charity. Attendance was free. The people who sold had to register with the charity and then pay 50% of the profits to the charity as a form of thanks. I don't think the accounting was very stringent. All the goods on display or for sale were for children. There were clothes, bikes, many different toys, and books. I have been to this sale a couple of times and it seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

Todays money idea is: If you have a charity you could organize a multifamily yard sale as well as some simple local events for fun for kids. With everything targeted toward children and having fun. Sell hot-dogs, cotton candy, ice cream, and beverages. Charge a simple commission to the people selling and pray for a nice day.
