Chelmsford Mothers’ Club Spring Tag Sale

The Spring 2025 CMC Kids Tag Sale will be held at Greater Visions Children’s Center in Chelmsford on April 5th, from 9am-1pm (half price sale 12pm-1pm). Please note this year's spring sale is earlier than it has been in years past! Gently used items suitable for children from infancy to elementary will be available for purchase at a fraction of retail cost. There will be thousands of gently used items including, but not limited to, indoor/outdoor toys, clothes, shoes, pack-and-plays, high chairs, books, and so much more. We have also added a section for maternity and nursing clothes! The sale is a sustainable and affordable way for families to update their childrens wardrobes, fill their toy chests and nurseries, while raising funds to reduce the cost of events for our members and their families.
