The annual ArMack orchestra rummage sale weekend is a huge fundraiser for the combined high school…read moreorchestra, of Arcata and McKinleyville high schools. This event draws hundreds both days for this two day fundraiser event. Held in the gymnasium at Arcata high in November, this event helps raise money for the orchestra students annual performance and trip. Every year the orchestra travels either internationally or in the USA to perform in an environment of substantial exposure for these young musicians. This fundraiser allows the students to raise money individually as well as for the group collectively. There are always lots of great items available for thrifters and bargain hunters alike. Lots of clothing, footwear, artwork, glassware, kitchen appliances, furniture, tools, collectibles and vintage items to be had. Tables and tables fill the gym and there is even a high end section. This annual event is a great way for the community as a whole to show support for this great music program. Well worth to stop to shop and show support! 00149
