Chattanooga’s 9th Annual Outdoor Expo And Gear Swap Set For April 23

  • Thursday, April 14, 2016

Chattanooga’s 9th Annual Outdoor Expo and Gear Swap is happening April 23 at The Gear Closet. 

 

Organizers said, "It’s all about finding great deals on outdoor stuff, from clothing and shoes to boats and bicycles.

It is basically a multi-family yard sale for folks who want to sell outdoor gear and clothing. From outdoor shops like Rock/Creek to individuals who have a plethora of extra gear, there’s something for everyone at the Gear Swap. Started by Outdoor Chattanooga nine years ago, last year they asked The Gear Closet to take over hosting the event."

 

The Gear Closet opens its front yard to all sellers and outdoor organizations to set up.  All parking will be outside the gates. Gates open at 10 a.m. and music starts at noon. Food trucks will be on site and kid’s environmental activities will be available as well.

 

Ways to be involved:

 

Be a seller: contact Stephanie at the Gear Closet and arrange to sell your gear (stephanie@caribbean-sea.org)

 

Be an exhibitor: set up a table about your outdoor oriented organization. Contact Stephanie.

 

Come enjoy the deals: Gates open at 10 a.m.

 

Donate or consign your gear at The Gear Closet: The Gear Closet is a consignment shop for outdoor gear and clothing where all the proceeds go to Kids for Clean Water. 

 

Volunteer to help: contact Stephanie (stephanie@caribbean-sea.org) or Mary Beth Sutton (marybeth@caribbean-sea.org)

 
The Gear Closet is at 535 Cherokee Boulevard in North Chattanooga.  It is part of Caribbean SEA and TenneSEa Kids 4 Clean Water, raising funds for kids programs around the Tennessee Valley. The phone number is 423 413-3298.
