Sale by Mario - Part 2!

Big Moon Little Stars is hosting Part Two of Mario and Elizabeth McKinley's estate sale. As people with large collections often say, "...it took me years to accumulate..." consequently, it takes multiple sales to disburse. If you attended Part One of the sale, you'll know where to go. If you didn't, Mario & Elizabeth’s estate has been relocated to a commercial property in downtown Silver Spring, where parking is metered. Big Moon Little Stars will have plenty of quarters available for the meters, there is also a small public lot nearby.

Note: this is a TWO-DAY SALE (Saturday & Sunday only).

PLEASE DO NOT PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY OR THE LOT BEHIND THE BUILDING.
