Our first outdoor swap- how does it work?

This is the first time we have held a swap in Oakwood Village, first time outdoors (last two markets had rain) and first where we had to bring EVERYTHING (including all donations and our own roof) to the site on the day of the event. So... we reached out for help. Davisville PS/Spectrum allowed us to use their temporary home at Vaughan Road Academy as a donation site, Appletree Market let us take donations at their Tuesday farmer's market, to spread the donation umbrella wider. Oakwood village merchants let us put up posters and the Oakwood Village library, while they couldn't be a donation site, have allowed us to store our tent and tables (also borrowed from friends and Davisville school council) because the school can't be accessed on Saturday. Nia centre for the arts, trustee Shelley Laskin, Rawlinson PS, the Ontario school of Ballet and Arts and Davisville PS all helped to spread the word as well, and we are grateful.

We hope to have lots of participants and a sunny day on Saturday, but we feel ready, with a really solid base of clothes and community- see you all there.
