Half-Pint Resale

media release: Half-Pint Resale, the Madison area’s oldest and largest children’s consignment sale, is hosting its semi-annual sale April 19 – 21 at the Mandt Center in Stoughton. More than just a way to save or make money, Half-Pint keeps resources and money in our community by allowing consignors to sell their items and shoppers to purchase like-new items at a fraction of retail prices. The sale, which takes place twice per year, features items for pregnant moms, expecting parents, and young families, including maternity and children’s clothing and toys for kids up to age 12. It is perfect for those who want to raise their families green, stretch their money, or for those who just want to participate in this Madison-area tradition. Friday sales are for consignors and volunteers, with Saturday and Sunday open to the public, and Sunday sales featuring half off nearly everything. There are no fees for parking or entry the entire weekend.

This spring’s sale will have everything needed to raise a family, but also a “Spring Fling” resource fair during the Saturday sale, from 8:30am-1:30pm, where vendors who support raising families in fun, affordable, and healthful ways will be on-site providing fun for all ages.

“I hear from so many families that they have saved thousands of dollars by being a part of Half-Pint Resale,” says owner/operator Angie Lenius. “Many others are happy just to be green, knowing they are keeping their items local, and in good use by other families.”

In addition to children’s spring/summer clothing and toys, shoppers can find nursing and lactation supplies, cloth diapers, bassinettes, high chairs, baby carriers, and other warmer weather gear. There is also a maternity rack and dressing room for expecting moms, sponsored by Forward Fertility. There are additional items for older children, too, including gaming, sporting goods, and books. Items are inspected prior to being allowed onto the sales floor, so families can be sure they’re taking home good quality articles.

Items not sold which their owners wish to donate will find their ways to area homes through local non-profits, including Stoughton’s Clothing Center and McFarland’s Free Sales for Families. For more information about the sale, or to register as a consignor or volunteer, visit halfpintresale.com.
