New to you gear
The Used Gear Area, supported by Arrow Adventure, is a must visit for those who want to shop and feel good about the environment. Indeed, shopping secondhand is a sustainable choice and proceeds from the Used Gear Area help local organizations.
How it works:
The Used Gear Area offers visitors the chance to pick up some lightly-used outdoor recreation-related equipment and/or earn some extra cash.
There is a 30% consignment fee, with 25% of all sales going to Arrow Adventure, a small, women-owned outdoor adventure and retail business in Lebanon, Ohio. The remaining 5% will be donated to the Five Rivers MetroParks Foundation.
Those who wish to consign gear should consider dropping off large items on Friday evening, from 4 to 7 p.m., during which limited vehicle access will be available. While dropping off items for consignment is available at any point during the festival, the earlier it is dropped off the higher the likelihood it will be sold during the event.
