Welcome to a new week, Shawnee Mission!

☀️ Today’s forecast: It feels really good to say this: sunny clear and NOT super hot. High: 82. Low: 65.

Local families looking for a deal have a perfect opportunity this week at the Overland Park Convention Center.

Just Between Friends is hosting its next pop-up consignment sale there Wednesday through Sunday.

Thousands of gently used items will be sold at the event from 50% to 90% off, including toys, shoes, books, clothes, strollers and other baby gear.

In the past, the Just Between Friends sales have been billed as one of the largest consignment sales in the Kansas City metro.

The event is open to the public, but shoppers must purchase tickets for entry beforehand.

Here’s a day-by-day schedule of the event.
