Temple Concord Sisterhood’s 41st annual Whale of a Sale and its first UpCycle Market will be held on Sunday, November 9, from 10 am-4 pm, at 9 Riverside Dr., Binghamton. The Whale of a Sale will be held in the social hall and the UpCycle Market will be on the first floor of the Kilmer Mansion. The Whale of a Sale will also be open Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, November 10-12, from noon-6 pm, and on Sunday, November 16, from 10 am-4 pm, when the bag sale will be held. A bag will cost $15 for a traditional size paper grocery bag that Sisterhood will provide.
Whale of a Sale will feature donated goods, including clothing and shoes for the whole family, household goods, dishes, serving pieces, collectibles, CDs and DVDs, bedding, small appliances, books, games, puzzles, sports equipment, children’s toys and more.
The first ever UpCycle Market will seek to educate people and provide UpCycled art and crafted goods for sale. All items available for purchase at the UpCycle Market will be crafted from recycled and up-cycled materials. Artists, craftspeople and local organizations will be on hand to share their knowledge and expertise in keeping useful materials out of the landfill and in the consumer cycle. “Come and explore, learn and get ideas for your crafts and your lifestyle,” organizers said.
