COMMUNITY EVENT Ski Swap, November 12th, Hayward, WI.

Joan Cervenka

After a two-year hiatus, Hayward Area Ski Trail Association (HASTA) invites one and all to come to our early season annual “SKI SWAP.”  The goal is to sell your silent sports equipment, clothing, bikes, skis, and outdoor gear.  And to be able to buy gently used new-to-you silent sports equipment, clothing, bikes, skis, and more.

The SWAP will be Saturday, November 12, 2022, at Hayward Wesleyan Church, 10655 Nyman Ave, Hayward, Wisconsin.  Masks are encouraged/recommended.  Drop-off starts at 7:30 and go ONLY until 8:59 am. Shopping time starts at 9:00 and continues until 11:00.  Pick-up all unsold gear and/or cash at 11:01 until 11:30. HASTA will not be responsible for any items left after 11:31.

Credit cards may be used for purchase and to each credit card purchase a 3.5% service fee will be added. We also accept cash and personal checks.

To prepare gear for sale/drop off, use our three-step check-in system, which works like this. At home 1) label your equipment, 2) make a clearly legible list of items, and 3) bring along this list of items with you on Saturday.  So, #1 clearly label all your equipment at home with your name, an item number, and the price you want to sell your gear for.  (Tape works fine!)  For any skis, write the weight range on the tape for the skis.  Next #2, fill out a 4x6 card as follows:  at the top print your FULL name and phone/cell phone number where you CAN be reached on Saturday, November 12, 2022. Then individually list/write out every item on the card, numbering each item 1 to whatever, and include a short description of each item with your price next to each listed item.  Remember HASTA charges a 15% fee from the price you set. Finally, #3 bring items and list to SWAP.

All SWAP proceeds are directly re-circulated to support local walking and cross-country ski trails.  HASTA volunteers will be available to help set prices and select ski sizes.  For additional SWAP information, call Linda at 715-634-8079 or 715-558-5366.

Hospital trails - Everyone enjoying the ski/walking trails at Hayward Area Memorial Hospital and Water’s Edge Care Center is invited to join HASTA because HASTA grooms and maintains the hiking, ski and snowshoe trails on the Hospital property.
