Upon a time in the land of Observatory , There was a Thrift Fest that occurred every now and then.
It was said that once you shop there , no matter where you live , Your local mall prices offend.
You won't leave empty handed , there's a whole array of things.
From Second hand, hand made to good food, coffee and silver rings.
So jot down the date , tell the family and don't forget ,
To visit Observatory's own Organic and Sustainable community fete.
