Believe it or not, it’s almost time for Kansas City’s 2010 Fall Consignment Sales! There are lots of them popping up all over the city.  Your kids are growing like weeds and the economy is sputtering…a consignment sale might be just what you’ve been looking for– as a buyer, seller or both.

Here’s how they work:  you can generally participate by becoming either a consignor, volunteer or shopper.  (Therefore, you can both make and spend money!)  You’ll need to price and tag your items and be prepared to pay an entry fee in the neighborhood of $10.  Then, get ready to take home up to 70% of your sales!  Some sales are limited in scope to only clothing, while others accept and sell anything from clothing to furniture to sporting goods.  We’ve compiled a listing of upcoming sales and maintain the listing of Consignment Sales year-round–you can click here to see it.

If you run or represent a consignment sale–and would like to purchase featured, prominent placement via a Sponsored Listing – (like Here We Grow Again, Kids’ Closet Connection and Love it Again) – all you need to do is contact me.  Just email me at kiran@kckidsfun.com or leave a comment below.  I am also happy to update sale dates for you. Happy Selling!  Happy Shopping!

No doubt you’ve seen the proliferation of pumpkins and mums at every store in town–fall is officially here!  If you missed our earlier post on the city’s Pumpkin Patches and Apple Orchards, check it out–there are so many to choose from, and they are located in every corner of the metro.

Speaking of pumpkin patches, you won’t want to miss the annual Crown Center Pumpkin Patch, which will be Saturday, October 10, 2009, at Crown Center Square, from 10am until 5pm.  Featuring over 30000 pounds of pumpkins, the event benefits Children’s Therapeutic Learning Center (CTLC), one of our valued community partners.  Proceeds help support the mission of CTLC, which is to provide therapeutic and educational services for children with disabilities in an environment which fosters their independence and celebrates their successes.  This is lots and lots of fun!

Another fun place you won’t want to miss is Lee’s Summit’s Paradise Park.  I wrote about Paradise Park this summer, after a great outing with my son.  We rode the go-karts and went miniature golfing in July.  Now that fall is here, Paradise Park has a Tractor-Pulled Hayride and Pumpkin Patch, a Haunted Castle Maze and the popular Foam Factory has transformed into “Ollie’s Haunted Foam Factory”!  For those of you celebrating fall birthdays…you can even host a birthday party–complete with s’mores, pizza, birthday cake and video games.  What fun!

If you missed our listing of Fall Consignment Sales, don’t worry.  There are still many held during the month of October.  Here We Grown Again has one coming up this weekend in Shawnee, KS, in fact!  You can find great deals on back-to-school clothes (in case your kids have shot up a few inches already!!) as well as toys and other necessities.  Consignment sales aren’t just for shoppers…you can make a few bucks, too!  Contact the particular sale you’re interested in and typically for a small entry fee, you can tag your items for resale and bag up to 70% of the sale price.  Not bad!

Believe it or not, it’s almost time for Kansas City’s 2009 Fall Consignment Sales! There are lots of them popping up all over the city.  Your kids are growing like weeds and the economy is sputtering…a consignment sale might be just what you’ve been looking for.
