To the Editor:
The Bethel Outing Club Ski Sale is just a few weeks away. This year it will be held at the Gould Academy Field House on Friday, October 27 from 6 to 9 p.m. and Saturday, October 28 from 9 a.m. to noon. There will be a range of alpine, snowboarding, and Nordic equipment from which to choose. Ski shops from around Northern New England will be there to sell skis, snowboards, boots, poles, helmets, and other skiing accessories. There will also be a section for used equipment sold by local skiers. This is where we need your help. While the weather is still nice out, we hope that you can go into your garages, attics, and basements and pull out the equipment you have that is still in good shape, but no longer used by you or your kids, dust it off, and consider trying to sell it at the ski sale. Having affordable equipment that is in good condition is an important part of making skiing accessible to more people in the community.
If you have equipment you would like to sell, there are a couple of ways to get it into the ski sale. Starting Sunday, October 1, you may pick up used gear sale tags at the Bethel Area Chamber of Commerce (824-2282, located at Bethel Station) or at True North Adventureware (824-2201, located at 196 Walkers Mills Rd.) during business hours. You can get up to four tags free. Every tag after the fourth is 25 cents. You put the price you would like for the item on the tag and bring it to the Gould Field House starting at 3 p.m. on Fri., Oct. 27. You may also get tags at the ski sale that Friday for a cost of $1 per tag. If you cannot drop off equipment on Friday, Oct. 27, you may drop it off ahead of time at True North Adventureware. Please read the instruction sheet carefully, though, for how to pick up your check or unsold equipment. We do not hold onto any equipment once the sale is over on Saturday, Oct. 28.
We look forward to seeing you at the BOC Ski Sale. It is a great way to meet up with friends, find new/used equipment, and celebrate the start of a new ski season! Proceeds from the ski sale will go towards supporting local youth who want to participate in outdoor people-powered sports.
Sincerely,
Sarah Southam, on behalf of the Bethel Outing Club
