Bonnaroo Donations

Randal Hale · September 8, 2021 ·

If you’ve been to the Gear Closet or at least watched us on Social Media – we get in a lot of weird gear. Usually every year we have a massive Bonnaroo Sale. We go into the festival at close under Clean Vibes and transport what we can back to the Gear Closet for a massive sale.

For the last two years Bonnaroo hasn’t happened – Covid and now aA Hurricane have stopped the sale in 2020 and 2021.

EXCEPT – we are having a slow rolling Bonnaroo Sale. We received a call last week and Clean Vibes asked us to come up. We did.

We received a substantial donation of:

Sleeping Bags
Air Mattresses
Tents
Lanterns

All of this is on Sale in the store. The store is packed.

If you are looking for cheap summer style sleeping bags (Scouting Programs) or just need something extra – come by. We are pricing it now and you may luck up and get something with “Bonnaroo” printed on it.

Bonnaroo Sale 2021

Randal Hale · August 30, 2021 ·

How was Bonnaroo in 2020? It didn’t happen. For the first time in a good while we didn’t have the annual Bonnaroo Sale.

Wednesday September 8th 2021 we will have a Sale! We’re opening the door at 9 AM and selling whatever we salvaged from Bonnaroo. WHAT?

Part of Waterways function is to make sure that we recycle and reuse everything we can. We go into Bonnaroo as you leave and perform a giant cleanup and remove anything that can be sold at the Gear Closet.

We get needed gear back in circulation and cut down on anything headed to the landfill. What will you find at the sale?

Tents of all sizes
Tarps
Pots and Pans
Pop-ups
Pool Noodles
Kid Sized Swimming pools
Camping Chairs.

Come out on September 8th and help support Waterways and the Gear Closet!

Gear Swap has moved to April 25th 2021

Randal Hale · April 24, 2021 ·

If you’re up here searching for information – we had to move the gear swap due to the weather to Sunday April 25th 2021.

The event will happen from 12 to 5 that day.

New Hours

Randal Hale · April 12, 2021 ·

It’s been a year (or slightly more) Since the store was closed for nearly 2 months.

Over the last 365 days we’ve been slowly re-opening as we figure out what works and what doesn’t. As of April 2021 we are now at:

Wednesday: 12 to 6
Thursday 12 to 6
Friday 12 to 6
Saturday 10 to 5
Sunday 1 to 5

Which puts us back at a 5 day a week schedule. We may shift our hours as the temps warm up and do more “night” hours – but for now you have us 5 days a week.
