Spring might be a time for cleaning out the closets but what are you to do with all of that space? Go shopping, of course!
Fort Wayne, Indiana and the surrounding area have plenty of opportunities to refresh your family's wardrobe and update accessories while also getting a thing or two you might need.
Spring Shopping in Fort Wayne, Indiana
The Lucky Duck Children's Consignment Sale
When: March 22-24, 2019
Hours: On Thursday, shop from 5-9 p.m. during the General Public PreSale ($10 entry fee required); Free general admission hours are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday
Where: Allen County War Memorial Coliseum, 4000 Parnell Ave.
What: Consignment sale with more than 30,000 square feet of newborn to junior-sized clothing for boys and girls, as well as toys, movies, decor, bikes and books. There's also a maternity and women's clothing section.
A toddler - heck, even a teenager - can turn a brand new outfit from picture-perfect to ruined in less time than it takes for a chip reader to authorize your credit card. And as a mom of two boys, there's nothing worse than seeing a once cute outfit be ruined by chocolate milk or an expensive toy languish in the corner of a bedroom, never to be played with.
At Lucky Duck, caregivers can check out high-quality children's items at crazy discounts. All of the clothing and toys are inspected before hitting the floor.
