Carousel offers bargains to benefit Junior League

More than 100,000 items are ready to be sold at the Junior League of Birmingham’s Bargain Carousel at the former J.C. Penney location  in Century Plaza. This three-day sale will begin April 25 with the Bargain Bash-the double-the sticker-price pre-presale and party.

At the Bash, VIP admission is $40 (6 p.m.-10 p.m.), and shoppers receive one hour to shop and first pick on all cash-and-carry auction items before general admission begins. General admission is $30 (7 p.m.-10 p.m.). Bash shoppers will have food and drinks provided by local vendors. The emcee for the evening will be Lance Taylor from The Roundtable on WJOX. Auction items will include travel packages, children’s camp tuition, photography, jewelry and tickets to sold out events.

Tickets for the Carousel pre-sale will be sold April 26, 3 p.m.-7 p.m. with tickets $10 and the pre-sale will be April 27, 8 a.m.-10 a.m.

The Carousel sale is 10 a.m.-5 p.m. with tickets $5; tickets are numbered and entrance will be in numerical order. Admission is free April 28 and remaining merchandise will be half price.

Proceeds help fund community projects JLB supports. The goal this year is to raise more than the $185,000 raised last year.
