But not for players, it’s shoppers warming up for the Just Between Friends kids pop-up consignment event.

“Local families bring their items to sell, and then other local families come in to shop and buy the things that their kids need and want,” explained Heather Orlandini, sales coordinator for Just Between Friends Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
