The Magic House is looking for enterprising kids 16 years and younger to sell their handmade craft items, outgrown toys, books, baseball cards and games at the Museum's Annual Kids' Flea Market.
Not only is this a great opportunity for kids to make their own money, but they can also earn extra points with their parents by cleaning out their rooms! This event is great for bargain hunters as well and is open to the public for shopping. There will be all kinds of hidden treasures to discover.
The registration fee is $15 per table and kids keep the profits they make at the event.
Sunday, September 29 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information and to register for a table: magichouse.org or call 314-822-8900.
Registration is required to have a table, but no reservations are required to shop.
It's the Not-So-Haunted House that is oh-so-fun, where storybook characters come alive!
