AKEN’s Giant Rummage and Bake Sale is back for the 26th time!

märts 17, 2017 Estonian Life No. 11 2017


The neon pink and black sign is up in front of Esto House announcing to the surrounding neighborhood that AKEN's Giant Rummage and Bake Sale is alive and well and will be open for business on Saturday April 29th from 8 in the morning until 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Word has already spread in the Esto community that Estonian House will be hosting HIIGELBASAAR for the second time and donors are also already asking what kind of items they can donate and when they can bring their "in good condition" donations to "Eesti Maja".
The bright pink Rummage Sale sign in front of Esto House is very eye-catching. It immediately drew the attention of Raymond, who had brought his daughter Rayanna to the Estonian House on Saturday March 11th to participate in a girls kickboxing competition billed as "She Fights". Judging from the number of people present at Esto House for this competion, kickboxing is apparently a very popular sport among young girls - photo by Maaja Matsoo
