The Tiny Treasures Consignment Event is returning for two days of incredible deals and community support on October 10th & 11th! This isn't just a massive sale on new and gently used kids' and maternity items; it's a Non-Profit Event with a heartwarming mission right here in our town.

What makes Tiny Treasures truly special is its commitment to giving back. The event partners directly with More Than a Bed, a nonprofit that supports our local foster and adoptive families. While consignors are paid for their sales, most of the remaining unsold products are generously donated directly to More Than a Bed, helping them provide essential items to local children and families in need. By shopping at Tiny Treasures, you are directly helping to stock their inventory and support a crucial community resource!

The sale kicks off on Friday, October 10th, from 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM. The biggest day for bargains is Saturday, October 11th, from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, where many items are reduced to half price!

Beyond the incredible savings, there’s plenty of fun for the entire family:

Whether you're looking to find a new wardrobe for a growing child or just want to support a great cause, the Tiny Treasures Consignment Event is the place to be. We'll see you there to shop local, save big, and help More Than a Bed support our local foster community!

Featured events and happenings around the greater Vail area.

Join over 60 vendors and food trucks between the tracks, and start shopping local for the holidays! Don't forget your donations for Vail ReSources of gravy, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, canned yams, and more!

Enjoy two days of art, music, food, and small-town charm. This iconic gathering features over 120 artisan booths, live music from regional favorites, hands-on family activities, and flavors that reflect the richness of the borderlands.

Figgy (#A880068)
Spayed female
Weight: Approximately 48.4 lbs.
Age: Approximately 1 year, 8 months old
Figgy is a bouncy young puppy who loves people and has a zest for life! She spent about a month in a foster home where she was described as VERY wiggly and happy. She did well around the resident cats, was very playful with the resident dog, and was both house and crate trained. Figgy’s foster described her as adorable, snuggly, cute and smart. Figgy has shared her kennel politely with a variety of roommates and has been playful, social and easygoing when meeting other dogs in playgroup. She’d like to meet any resident dogs before heading home to ensure a good fit and is looking for a home with a secure yard to keep her safe and sound. Ask to meet Figgy today!

Ready to take a trip to find some Fall foliage? It turns out that you might not have to drive very far. Sure, the bulk of the Fall colors are up in Northern Arizona, but in Southern Arizona, we have a few leaves changing colors, too.

Track the Fall Foliage colors and plan your next family road trip to see them using this map.
