48th Annual ST. Hugo School Rummage Sale Begins Tonight 6pm.

For some the fun has already already begun last weekend  the  St. Hugo Parish Library hosted it's second annual  Book Donations sale for books for the children of St. Hugo's Parish. Adults  however benefited as well with a selection of seldom seen, some out of print classic books.  This writer was looking for a  good but cheap  Russian  Primer. Looking as in I will never find it  but I will try anyway.  The Actual St. Hugo's Rummage put textbook in "Items  we can't take category."
The price of  however  of  advanced high school  and college text books new or used  is through the roof.

The at the  St. Hugo' Library sale I almost tripped over  The Essentials of Russian  The Third Edition circa 1958.When I got home I noticed something buried in the binding.  I was rewarded by an invitation a  Beach Party on Sunday June 14th 1958. As best I can figure by turning the invite round and round if you cross the   the Delaware River north of Philadelphia and  keep going left when ever the opportunity presents itself you will  eventually arrive at the At the Atlantic Ocean.
The only hard part would be matching the invitation  to the party you were supposed to go to. It did say bring food.

You never know what will turn up at a first class Rummage Sale.  I  do know that for a fact. The money raised at the  Library's book sale for  St. Hugo's School and its Children is anticipated to approach the the four figure mark. Books that weren't sold at the Library sale were transported to the St. Hugo Rummage Sale in a half dozen Pick up truck runs loaded by  Library volunteers and Parish staff that ran past the the dinner hour.

If you like books, the rare, the unusual, and the hard to find they will be at the St. Hugo Rummage Sale.
And that is just the beginning. There are over twenty departments including a snack bar for the bargain weary.

Today Wednesday from  6pm to 9pm is the Preview Sale and yes there is a $2 a admission fee and at 25%  mark up for FIRST NIGHTERS.

THURSDAY HOURS are 9am to 6pm and offer Hourly specials.
Friday Hours 9am till noon. Prices are half off and there will be a bag salea bag sale.
