National Night Out w/ Asheville Police Department

National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness, generate support for and participation in local anti-crime programs, strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships, as well as send a message to criminals, letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.

Residents throughout the City of Asheville and across the nation are asked to turn on their porch lights, lock their doors, and spend the evening outside with neighbors and law enforcement to help build stronger police partnerships and neighborhood unity in our fight for a safer community.
We encourage our residents to continue to be our eyes and ears in the community. If you see something, say something.

Drag Queen Story Hour

Beauty Bar AVL and Spellbound Children’s Bookshop are excited to host another Drag Queen Story Hour at Beauty Bar! Spellbound will be selecting the stories and setting up a pop up store at the salon and our friend Euphoria will be the reader. We’ll have a couple of dance breaks, too!

Drag Queen Story Hour (DQSH) is just what it sounds like—a drag queen reading stories to children. DQSH captures the imagination and play of the gender fluidity of childhood and gives kids glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models. In spaces like this, kids are able to see people who defy rigid gender restrictions and imagine a world where people can present as they wish, where dress up is real.

All ages welcome. Free!

Beauty Bar Avl is in the River Ridge Market Place at 800 Fairview Road. (The same shopping center as Mr. K’s Used Books.)

One Fish Two Fish Children’s Consignment Event

If you don’t know Consignment your about to be hooked!

Consignment is easy! You earn 70% and get to shop before the public at our private Volunteer and Consignor pre sale.

Use our easy on-line system to enter items, price and print your tags, then just hang and drop off and watch them sell 🙂 then pick up any unsold items and your check after the sale. It’s that easy.

Receive your check the day of pickup. There is a $7 Consignor fee to participate that gets deducted from your earnings but if u choose to volunteer at least one shift or help us advertise you get that back.

If you don’t want to consign, come SHOP! You will find lots of bargains on quality, gently used baby and kid items. And you will save 30-90% off retail prices.

This is your one stop shop for all your baby and kids’ clothing, toys, furniture, movies, bedding, books, baby gear and much more!

I will add a calendar with the drop off and pick up schedule.

Also if u would like information on volunteering we would love to hear from you!!
