Woofstock Tees and Halloween Jack-O-Lanterns

Thanks to everyone who came out to Woofstock 2011! We had so much fun and made lots of new friends. Perhaps some of you Woofstock fans have never visited the Humane Society's Yardsale Store at Burlington Outlet Village near Kitchen Collection. Tomorrow, Saturday, from 7 am to 1 pm is your chance to check us out, and in case you missed getting as many Woofstock Long Sleeve Tee Shirts as you wanted, we'll have them on sale. All sizes are available: Youth, Small,  Medium, Large, Extra Large and 2X, Quantities are limited, so make sure to come early for the best selection.

We'll also have some Halloween items for sale, plus our usual constantly changing assortment of books, videos, movies, puzzles, china, glassware, ceramics, imported decor, artwork, "Man-Land" items like a mailbox post and much more manly odds and ends, kid's items, a vintage Barbie Dream House, computers and electronics, jewelry, lamps and shades, a nice set of 2" white wood blinds, quilts, small kitchen appliances and accessories and even cans of pet food.

Everything is a bargain and it is all for a good cause. We're doing this for the animals of Alamance County, of course, so won't you come take a look? Donations are accepted of your gently used treasures (no clothing please). Thank you so much for your support!
