The Church of St Paul Thrift Shop in Barriere is currently packed to the brim with all manner of gifts, housewares, seasonal decorations, books, clothing and warm winter wear. With the holiday season approaching, the volunteer staff at the thrift store have decided to have a Pre-Christmas Blowout Sale on Nov. 8 and 11, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., with “everything affordable for everyone”.
