Hodag Dome to host youth equipment swap Aug. 22

The Hodag Dome will host a Youth Equipment Swap from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 22.

“Do you have youth sports gear laying around that is cluttering your garage and closets and is no longer being used? Are your kids outgrowing their gear faster than they wear it out? Help us get these gently used items in the hands of local kids who can use them,” the Hodag Dome stated in a press release announcing the event.

Items are strictly donation only. No sales will be permitted. Items will be free to everyone, with no donation necessary. All gently used/clean youth sports gear is welcome. 

Examples of acceptable items include cleats or sports-specific shoes, bats, helmets, balls, gloves, shinguards, rackets, etc.

The dome will not be accepting jerseys, socks, sneakers or other clothing items; bicycles, scooters, snowboard/ski equipment;  weapons, archery, or hunting equipment or adult sporting equipment.

Donations may be dropped off at the Dome during open hours from Aug. 11-17.

Check Facebook or the Hodag Dome website for our open hours before bringing your donations. Any leftover gear may be picked up by noon Saturday, Aug 23, and any remaining items will be donated to local groups.
