Ski Swaps & Tents mean Ski Season is Right Around the Corner

By on September 28, 2009 in How to, Sporting and Recreation Events, Tent Sale, Tent Sales and Auto Sales

Four area ski and board shops have announced dates and arranged equipment rentals for annual Buy, Sell, and Swap Events.  The huge crowds attending Ski Swaps give each store a boost in pre-season traffic to show the full line of gear, accessories, clothes, etc available for the 2009 – 2010 Ski Season.   Typical Ski Swaps are held adjacent to each store, and many will feature tents and tables for boots provided by Event Central of Mechanicsburg.

Sadly, missing this year will be Ed’s Ski & Cycle Swap.  See the related post titled
“What the closing of a locally-owned business “treasure” may mean for you”

Eds Ski Shop of York will not be a place to swap, if you look at the Farwell

All we found on Ed's old site was a Farewell Message

In a related event Ski Roundtop has scheduled their second annual Fall Extravaganza.  One of the many activities over the weekend is a Consignment Sale for used Ski Equipment being held by Ski Roundtop Racing Club (SRRC)

Back to School Sales go Under Tent

By on August 25, 2009 in Corporate Events, School and Church Events, Tent Sale

weg8The Central PA retailers are busy competing for the Back-to-School business.  It is hard to tell who gets more visibility,  Governor Rendell trying to sell his budget, or the Back-to-School advertisements.

Wegmans booked a tent for their sale at the 6416 Carlisle Pike, Mechanicsburg store.  They ordered the 30 x 45 Anchor Century Mate tent with removable sidewall on all 4 sides.  This allows them to completely open it on the hot summer days, cover the windward side when rain is in the forecast, or close up completely at night for security.

The tent installers for this event were AJ and Slim.  Upon arrival, they found Wegmans’ warehouseman had pulled several dozen skids of products ranging from snack food to housewares to paper supplies.  It  made a perfect last minute stop for the college student en-route from home to campus.

Larger professional tent companies like EC can deliver hundreds of different styles and sized tents to meet most any purpose:

  • Tent sales
  • Weddings
  • Ground Breaking
  • Grand Openings
  • Chamber of Commerce Mixers
  • Auctions
  • College Events
