The Third Annual Redemption Road Rescue Estate Sale Fundraiser was the plea and pre-promotion of the 3rd annual event. The Estate Sale Company holds this event annually and donates 100% of the proceeds to Redemption Road Rescue, and the staff donated their time for the two-day event. Barry Phillips, owner of The Estate Sale Company, said his staff believes in Redemption Road Rescue and their mission of rescuing, rehabilitating and re-homing equine in West Tennessee. It is valuable work and requires a great deal of funding to continue, so the significant contribution from The Estate Sale Company was very much appreciated.

Masks were required and shoppers complied. Everybody loves a deal, and there were many to be had. Shoppers were seen leaving the buildings on North Royal loaded up with goodies. Some were loading furniture onto trailers, all with a big smile on their face. The fun was augmented by RRR volunteers selling hot dogs, hamburgers, chips and drinks.

Barry Phillips presented a check to Lori Collins, founder of Redemption Road Rescue, and there were more than a few tears of gratitude that followed. Since COVID has vastly reduced the number of fundraising events not-for-profits can hold, this event was even more important this year.
