Twice yearly at Harvey Convention Center, Tyler
If you have kids and love a bargain – DO NOT MISS THIS SALE!
The CCC sale is a 3 day weekend event where around 1000 families bring their gently used children’s clothing, shoes, toys, furniture and equipment to be sold at about a third of the new price.
It is run by 2 stay-at-home Moms and a team of volunteers who work at the sale in return for the privilege of shopping early at the preview sale.
It is a very popular place to buy, and sell children’s items. Prepare for crowds on the first day and be aware that you may need to bring a family member to stand in line at the check out area.
Children's Clothing Consignment Sale in Tyler
Having said that, the CCC sale has been finely tuned over the last few years and they are becoming more and more efficient.
What I like about the sale – besides the fact that you can get nice things at exceedingly good value – is that it is easy to find what you are looking for. This is no garage sale. Everything has been carefully laundered, labeled and even hung on the hangers in a particular way on racks in size order, so that you can quickly root through and find what you want. As a seller, it can be a bit intimidating on the first occasion to make sure everything is done properly – but you will soon see that your time and effort is well worth it. Unlike most consignment stores – the split is 70/30 which means you can make a very good return on your items. The seller also sets the price and can decide whether or not the item is to go for half price on the last day of the sale or not. Sellers can pick up any unsold items or donate them to Living Alternatives or the Salvation Army.
As well as consigning some goods, I always spend a lot of money at the sale. Harvey Hall is literally packed with stuff for sale. I buy almost my daughter’s entire wardrobe each season and a good few baby clothes and shoes too. There are fewer clothes for boys – I guess they wear them out more than girls! but I have still found some great deals on nice brands and usually find playwear and swimwear too. In the fall I buy dress up outfits which are very affordable – and then I recycle them the following year! As a pregnant Mom I shopped for all sorts of baby items – they have strollers, backpacks, highchairs, cribs, bouncy chairs and every type of baby toy you can think of. I know that some people buy furniture and bedding at the sale too. There are so many bargains to be had! On the last day many of the items that are left are sold at half price. This is the best day to buy T shirts, play wear, books and videos/DVDs. There are also shoes left that are not so new looking, but fine for playing in.
I can’t begin to think of how much money I have been able to save by shopping at the CCC sale each year. I have to admit that I also love shopping there. I go with friends, leaving the children behind and we pile all our bargains into laundry baskets (as there are no carts to use and strollers are a bit impractical in the loaded space). 
We stop for a Starbucks or Dennys all day breakfast on the way home. It is truly fun!

Who tackled the attempted assasin of congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords?
January 8th, 2011Answer: We still do not know the answer to this but Daniel Hernandez is the latest hero in this tragedy. As everyone on hand waited for emergency medical support to arrive, Hernandez held Giffords’s head in his lap and applied pressure to her wound likely saving her. “Daniel Hernandez is the young intern credited with saving Giffords life.”
Before the day got going she tweeted that she would be doing a Congress on Your Corner and invited people to come by.
She tweeted: “My 1st Congress on Your Corner starts now. Please stop by to let me know what is on your mind or tweet me later.” – @rep_giffords
Whoever he was he is a hero for tackling the gun man. This gunman shot and killed a child, volunteers, and wounded Giffords using a pistol at a four foot range directly aiming at each persons head. The shooting happened at a Tucson Arizona Safeway grocery store.
The gun man was aiming at peoples heads in multiple assassination attempts. Another gunman in the crowd opened fire on the assassin but ultimately a bystander tackled and captured the assassin.
The congress woman is alive and responding to commands after a bullet entered through her temple and out another side of her head.
Gabrielle Giffords not Gifford is considered a gun rights advocate, pro-choice, 2nd amendment supporter, Blue Dog Democrat, only congress woman with active military spouse, youngest woman ever elected to house, grew up in Tucson, 3rd term Democrat, married to astronaut Mark Kelly, wants increased Arizona Mexico border security, Cornell graduate, Scripps University graduate, used to be a Republican and is known to listen to her constituents in the 8th district of Arizona frequently holding town hall style meetings at a local grocery store.
Listen to congress woman Giffords reading the US constitution: Listen now
Jared Loughner on Youtube- “my favorite activity is conscience draining…some of us don’t dream…my hope is for you to be literate…comprehend English grammar…in conclusion…informing illiterate dreamers about a new currency…in a few days you’ll know I’m conscience dreaming…reading the 2nd United States Constitution the government is implying mind control and brainwashing on the people by controlling grammar I won’t pay debt with a currency that is not backed by gold and silver no I will not trust in God…”
“The population of dreamers is less then 5% in the US”
Jared Loughner’s favorite books are Mein Kampf, The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx, and Animal Farm by George Orwell.
He was given a Bible at his military recruiting station and did not like that. He has an issue with the governments use of grammar to manipulate the population, whatever that means.
I haven’t been able to put this guy in any type of stereotype box other then crazy. He definitely doesn’t fall into the Tea Party category. Tea Partier’s are baby boomer bible belt type of people. He hates religion and Christianity and admires communism and the thinking of Hitler.
His last thing he wrote was on myspace and was: “goodbye friends”
