It takes place this weekend.

(Press Release) The Select Show taking place Sept. 10-11 in Dallas, TX, is raising money for those affected by Hurricane Harvey.

“Our hearts go out to those affected by Hurricane Harvey and we are in a position to help,” said Select Show Director Jordan Brockhaus.

Show founder Joe Carullo, KC Designs, agrees. “The Dallas Select Show will support the state of Texas now, as it always has for the last eight years.”

The Texas-sized raffle will have a Texas-sized prize to go with it. Attending retailers and manufacturers are invited to purchase raffle tickets for $20 each or five for $100. The winner will receive a two-night stay at the Dallas Ritz Carlton and a $200 gift certificate to Del Frisco’s steakhouse nearby.

The Select Jewelry Show will match donations up to $5,000.

All proceeds go to the American Red Cross Harvey Relief.

You Wouldn’t Cut Your Own Hair. Why Run Your Own Retirement Sale?

After being in business for over a quarter of a century, Wayne Reid, owner of Wayne Jewelers in Wayne, Pennsylvania, decided it was time for a little “me time.” He says, “I’ve reached a point in my life where it’s time to slow down, enjoy a lot of things outside of the jewelry industry. It just seemed to be the right time.” He chose Wilkerson to handle his retirement sale because of their reputation and results. With financial goals exceeded, Reid says he made the right choice selecting Wilkerson to handle the sale. “They made every effort to push our jewelry to the forefront of the showcases,” he says, lauding Wilkerson for their finesse and expertise. Would he recommend them to other jewelers who want to make room for new merchandise, expand their business or like him, decide to call it a day? Absolutely he says, equating trying to do this kind of sale with cutting your own hair. “The results are going to happen but not as well as if you have a professional like Wilkerson do the job for you.”
