Hartville Flea Market Sale June 16th and 18th

Please contact Ray or Susan Golden at 330-699-0862 if you have any items to donate. This is our prime fundraiser for the year, and we appreciate any items you could donate to help us.

You are welcome to join the Goldens for this event. The sale is during a special event when Dick Goddard will be there. Ray, Susan and their volunteers work very hard to make each sale a success. We know this is also a good way to let people know Akron-Canton TRIO exists and the need for organ donation.

Please let your friends and family know of the event.

Special thanks to Bruce Blanke, Hartville Marketplace for generously donating space and allowing us to attend each year.

NOTE: If you have already donated items, we thank you very much for your support.
