Furniture, clothes and other cheap deals at Blue and Gold Mine Sale in Morgantown
: WVU Commencement starts Friday, to continue through the weekend
MORGANTOWN, (WBOY) — Spare and used furniture, DVDs, mugs, glasses, cookware and just about anything else you can imagine were all for sale at this year's Blue and Gold Mine Sale held at Milan Puskar Stadium in Morgantown on Saturday.
This unique United Way Fundraiser allows attendees to find antique furniture and other items that were gathered from dorms across the WVU campus and donated by residents around Morgantown. The funds raised from the sale of those items then support the United Way of Monongalia and Preston Counties.
Essentially, the sale gives items a second life when they would otherwise have been thrown away or ended up in a landfill.
'We get all kinds of things here,' said Mon and Preston United Way Director of Development Jenna Russell. '[A] chair that came from the Mountainlair, we get full furniture sets, random things from people's apartments, all the cookware you could imagine. Pretty much anything you think you might need, we have it here.'

During the sale, shoppers could fill a bag with whatever they wanted and walk away with a final price tag of $25. Through that, the sale has raised more than $200,000 for the United Way while keeping literal tons of would-be trash out of landfills over the 20 years the sale has been held.
