Junior League sale draws thousands of shoppers in first ... - al.com (blog) Posted: 24 Apr 2010 09:12 AM PDT By Val Walton--The Birmingham News April 24, 2010, 11:10AM Caroline Reynolds of Mountain Brook carries a mannequin through the clothing section last weekend as volunteers prepared for today's Bargain Carousel. The sale features thousands of items ranging from art, collectibles, furniture, electronics, clothing for all ages, shoes, sporting goods, glassware, and more. (The Birmingham News / Jeff Roberts) Thousands of people have visited the Junior League of Birmingham's annual Bargain Carousel at The Summit since doors opened at 8 a.m., organizers said. Those who were first in line got the earliest access to more than 100,000 deeply discounted items donated by Junior League members. The event, at the former Bruno's Supermarket location at The Summit, continues today until 5 p.m. and runs from 1-5 p.m. Sunday. The threat of bad weather did not deter Birmingham resident LaChelle Adams, who said she loved being among the first groups to get inside. Adams, who was joined by other family members, picked out wall portraits, kids' shoes and clothing. "We make it a family event," Adams said. Caroline Ezelle, the chairwoman for the event, said that by 10 a.m. 1,800 shoppers had come through. The Bargain Carousel benefits about 32 community projects for women and children through sale proceeds, while also offering discounted items for shoppers.
