Cascade School Supplies Sets Warehouse Tag Sale

It's been years since the Cascade held a tag sale,  which had been an annual event. That means plenty of merchandise to sort through, say company officials. 

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Cascade School Supplies is bringing back its warehouse tag sale after an absence of years.

 

"The Cascade tag sale is a long-standing community tradition where we open our warehouse to educators and the public to offer school, office and art supplies for pennies on the dollar," said Vice President Todd Shafer. "The event ran for many years, and we're excited to bring it back."

 

The company has been in the business of supplying schools with everything from pens and paper to desks and bulletin boards for 90 years. 

 

Shafer said the family-owned company has been doing a lot of renovations and upgrades and hasn't able to organize the tag sale, but is now ready to bring it back "bigger than ever."

 

"Since it hasn't happened for several years, we've accumulated more stock than ever, so this felt like the perfect time to reintroduce it," he said. "Our goal is to support our education community locally, while creating a fun, accessible event for everyone."

 

The tag sale will be held from Wednesday, Dec. 10, through Saturday, Dec. 13, with hours from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday; 11 to 8 on Friday, and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday. The event is open to the public to search through the 10,000-square-foot area at 1 Brown St.

 

Five people won a contest to get into the tag sale early on Tuesday, Dec. 9, from 4 to 6 p.m.
