Comi-Con at Bethel Thriftstore

Image
Last Saturday was the 5th annual Comi-Con sale at Bethel storehouse and thriftstore, masterminded and organized by Olivia, longtime employee at this beloved Moriarty institution. I visited the day before to see how preparations were going. It seemed fairly quiet.  "Oh, I'll be staying all night after we close emptying that truck out in the parking lot," Olivia explained. "That's anything and everything Comi-Con that's come through our doors as donations in the past year. "I'll be clearing off everything on the shelves and putting up Comi-Con stuff. I'll be here at 10:00 tomorrow when we open. "I'm hoping for volunteers to help me but I'm not counting on it," she laughed. I didn't visit until after 10:00 the day of the event so I didn't see her open up the store.  But when I stopped by that afternoon, the place was humming and people were enjoying a store full of Comi-Con. I had a great time snapping pictures....
