Two rooms at St. Paul's were filled with treasures up for grabs at bargain prices.

Three days of treasure hunting last week benefitted the entire community.

St. Paul's Episcopal Church, located at 40th and Main streets, held its annual "ABC Sale" Thursday through Saturday.

Different from previous years, the church only held one "ABC Sale" this year.

But volunteer organizer Jennifer Moore said that made this sale even better.

"That should mean a bigger sale than ever before," Moore said.

Antiques, books, collectibles, kids toys, clothes, baby gear, housewares and so much more were all available at the sale.

Funds from the sales went to support community outreach organizations including the church's food pantry and Meals on Wheels.

Perhaps the best part of all, the final day patrons enjoyed the "Bag Sale."

Everything they could fit in a large bag was $10 and a full small bag was $5.
