The iconic Minks to Sinks tag sale is now underway! Donations and consignments began Tuesday, Apr. 29, (395 Danbury Rd.), and the semi-annual event promises a weekend filled with bargain hunts and community spirit.
This event not only allows shoppers to find unique items at competitive prices but also supports Family & Children’s Agency’s critical services.
Hundreds of thousands of items are donated each year to what is known as New England’s largest tag sale, and it is the nearly 200 dedicated volunteers who make the sale possible.
Minks to Sinks had its first rummage sale organized by volunteers in Wilton in 1931. A women-run organization with more than 90 years of history, Minks to Sinks brings donations and deals to the Wilton area twice each year with all proceeds of these epic tag sales benefitting Family & Children’s Agency.
This year’s Sale Days schedule is:
- Saturday, May 3 from 9 a.m.-5 p.m.: Full day of shopping
- Sunday, May 4 from 12-4 p.m.: Bargain Day with everything half off
