Oh, how I wish this sale description was my original idea, but while we were setting up this week, I read a Chicago sale notice and said “OMGeeee, that’s OUR sale!”.   Outloud and in an outside voice I said it.  So with a bit of creative liberty, here’s how I’ll describe this sale that you MUST attend:
