Cowboys and cowboy hats are synonymous with the legacy of the Lone Star State. So much so, many people who are never around cattle wear cowboy hats. One Texas business has been making these Texas symbols for over 100 years.

The Children's Clothing Consignment Sale will take place April 11 - 13 at Harvey Convention Center in Tyler.

Folks from across East Texas make the trip to Tyler for this sale each year, because they've learned that it's not only a children's clothing sale, but also a sale at which they can buy gently used maternity clothing, shoes, equipment, baby furniture, playground equipment, books, software, videos, toys and home decor and furniture. If you're looking for a table, bookshelf or couch, this might just be the place to find it at a great price.

The sale offers over 30,000 square feet of space. A great feature of the sale is a half-price sale on Saturday.

The sale does not accept recalled items, cribs manufactured before June 28, 2011, or anything faded, worn out, out of style, or with stains, rips or holes. You can feel good about what you'll find available at the sale!

Sale hours:

Thu & Fri: 9am - 6pm
Sat: 9am - 4pm

From the Better Business Bureau of Central East  Texas:

With holiday shopping in full swing, many of us will be using our debit cards for transactions.  This is the reason many retailers have ATM machines in their place of business or an ATM machine is located nearby. Scammers can be found wherever transactions occur, and in this case, it’s no different.

“ATM’s are a great convenience, but they can compromise both your physical safety as well as increase your risk for identity theft”, said Mechele Agbayani Mills, President and CEO of BBB Serving Central East Texas. “Reports of ATM robbery attempts and identity theft will typically increase this time of year.”

BBB provides the following tips on how to be safe when using an ATM machine along with some tips to protect yourself from being a victim of ATM skimming. 

• Pay close attention to the ATM and your surroundings.
