Sellers Can Still Sign Up For Recycle Sports Swap

The City of Mentor is still looking for sellers to participate in its first ever .

It's an opportunity for people who have gently used sports equipment -- anything from golf clubs to soccer cleats to lacrosse crosses to soccer balls -- to find a buyer. Simultaneously, it's also a chance for people to find some bargains.

"It's especially good for somebody who has kids," said Jill Korsok, the Mentor Parks & Recreation employee who thought of the swap. "Kids grow so quickly that sometimes you don't get much use out of something before they're onto the next size.

The swap is scheduled for 9 a.m. to noon Saturday at Mentor Beach Park.

Those who want to be a seller at the swap should contact the city Rec Department at 440-974-5720. It costs $12 for a resident and $17 for a nonresident to be a seller.

However, it is free to attend the swap.
