Karen Epley is retiring from selling Longaberger baskets at the end of October. She is selling her collection at Community Health Professionals this long weekend, Thursday from 10-5, Friday from 10-5 and Saturday from 10-3.
Tables and tables are laden with baskets and other items sold over the years by the Longaberger company.
Karen said her highest sales year was $55,000. She has had as many as 16 salespersons under her as branch advisor.
Last year she retired from her full-time job at Ohio Northern, having worked there for 27 years.
In recent years, the Longaberg company expanded into pottery and wrought iron items.
Karen is raffling off a holiday hostess basket valued at $200. Proceeds go to Team Amelia.
