St. Peter Lutheran in Emden to host used prom/party dress sale this weekend

[March 05, 2014]  EMDEN — On Saturday, March 8, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., shoppers and sellers will have a great opportunity to earn cash from their past prom and party dresses or get a great bargain on something that will be "new to you."

A fitting area will be available for trying on the dresses before purchase.

St. Peter Lutheran Church, 120 Market St. in Emden, will serve as the clearinghouse for the sale, charging only a small fee per dress to have them on display. The balance of the cash earned by the sale of a dress will go to the seller.

Dresses may be brought to the church between 9 and 10:30 a.m. Saturday.

For the buyer, the terms are cash only; no checks will be accepted.

For the seller, any dresses not sold must be picked up at the church no later than 2:30 p.m. Because the church does not have storage for the dresses, anything remaining after 2:30 p.m. will be donated to another group.

For more information about the sale, call 217-737-2742.
