The Wharton Association’s one-day-only, half-price sale Saturday, June 28, is a good way to snag some bargains while helping fund scholarships for area students.
The sale will be from 9 a.m.-noon in the “Blue Barn” at 34 Wharton Loop, just off West Lake Road in Pleasant Hill. It can be found beyond the new Uplands Wellness Center on the corner of East Main Street and West Lake Road
“We have some beautiful furniture for living and dining room, and we have many more items than we usually have for sale,” said Wharton Sales Communications Coordinator Mary Schantz. “More than 50 volunteers have been working for months now to sort, price and display all the donated items in preparation for the sale. Now you can get incredible Blue Barn bargains at half the price.”
Items available include furniture, lamps, rugs, Fourth of July and other seasonal decorations, dishes and kitchenware, linens, small working appliances, computers, flat-screen TVs and other pretested electronics, home and garden tools, office, craft and workshop supplies, frames and framed artwork, sports equipment, home decor, antiques, curios and collectibles, books, barbecue grills and patio furniture.
Proceeds from the sale benefit the mission of the Wharton Association, which strives to uphold the legacy of physician and founder, Dr. May Cravath Wharton.
Through the association’s sales every year, they are able to grant scholarships to area residents, address other financial needs in the wider community, and provide special events for residents in the assisted living, memory care and long-term care centers in Uplands Village, a not-for-profit life plan retirement community in Pleasant Hill.
