SIRIS Classic Vinyl & Media Sale is This Weekend
Carbondale, Ill. – Reporters, photographers, and camera crews are invited to cover the 8th Annual WSIU & SIRIS Classic Vinyl & Media Sale taking place this Saturday, September 12 from 10am-9pm and Sunday, September 13 from noon to 5:30pm at the University Mall, 1237 East Main in Carbondale, Ill., next to Kirlin’s Hallmark.
NOTE: Shoppers line up early on the first day of the sale to find the best collectible albums and other bargains, so if covering the sale, 9:45am would be a good time to arrive to capture the most action – when doors open through noon.
Items for sale include stereo equipment, including turntables, tuners, and speakers; vintage vinyl records, including collectibles; CDs, DVDs, VHS tapes, and cassettes; electronic games; and audio books.
