Consignment sale begins Aug. 12
Sisters Candice Smith and Stephanie Allred decided to start a kids consignment sale in Maple Valley because “her kids were growing out of their clothes quickly and there weren’t any consignment sales in the area,” Smith said in an article published in the June 3 edition of The Reporter.
The first Lollitots Kids Consignment Sale is August 12 through 14 at the Maple Valley Community Center.
Hours vary throughout the weekend, for more information and hours of operation visit their website lollitotsinfo.com.

Heaven’s Sake answered and arrived on scene to rescue the owl.
When he arrived, Parkinson said, the owl was already in a tote ready to be transported.
