UW-Sheboygan Rummage Sale set for April 9

The temperatures are rising, the days are getting longer and the birds are singing! What a better reason to get outdoors and enjoy spring than a rummage sale!

You won’t want to miss the first-ever fundraising rummage sale sponsored by the UW-Sheboygan Southeast Asian Club set for Saturday, April 9 from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the UW-Sheboygan Gym. All funds raised from the student- and volunteer-coordinated event will support the creation of a “Wombat Garden” in the nearby Bookworm Gardens children’s literature garden in honor of the campus’ Wombat mascot. (The garden will focus on the book, Diary of a Wombat, a popular children’s book.)

All items for the sale have been donated by area residents, faculty, staff and students over the last several months. Available items will include furniture, small electronics, antiques, clothing (infant through adult), jewelry, purses, home décor, luggage, housewares and kitchen items, crafts, books, linens/blankets/bedding, holiday decorations, toys, exercise equipment and much more.

To cater to hungry shoppers participating in the sale, food and refreshments will be available for purchase onsite throughout the morning and afternoon. All funds raised will be matched by the UW-Sheboygan Foundation to help fund the garden’s construction, so your support is needed.

The UW-Sheboygan campus is located at One University Drive, just off Taylor Drive (between Indiana and Union avenues). The Gym building is located on the south end of campus between the East and West parking lots.
