Handmade Christmas stockings, personal computers, kids’ clothing and books galore were among the many items changing hands at the second annual Outdoor Flea Market/Garage Sale fundraiser held last Saturday on the Cambridge Campus of Anoka-Ramsey Community College. The event, sponsored by the Cambridge Campus Foundation, raised more than $2,000 for student scholarships.

Busy and crowded, the sale attracted hundreds of shoppers throughout the day to the vendor stands set up in the West Campus parking lot. This year’s event grew to 20 vendors total, an increase of 4 vendors over last year’s event. Many shoppers stopped by while making the rounds to garage sales held all over town during the citywide Cambridge Garage Sale Day.

The successful event raised funds in three primary ways: the sale of goods donated to the foundation; the sale of refreshments to shoppers; and the rental of display space and equipment to outside vendors.

Plans are already being made for next year’s Flea Market/Garage Sale fundraiser. For more information about the Foundation, call 763-422-3436.
