CHILDS – The Cobblestone Society has extended an invitation to vendors of all types to reserve a spot for their annual Flea Market on August 9.
“We anticipate the campus will once again be bustling with vendors, visitors and, of course, bargain hunters,” said Sue Bonafini, assistant director of the Cobblestone Museum.
Handmade goods, household items, plants, knitted/crocheted apparel, wall art, vintage tools and dishware, as well as a wide array of mixed goods should appeal to young and old alike, Bonafini said.
The Museum’s Holiday Shoppe, featuring Christmas-themed merchandise, and the Used Books Building will be open that day, and tours of the historic Cobblestone campus will be offered at 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
Crafters and vendors of all sorts, as well as any others who would like to showcase what they have to offer, are encouraged to request an application by calling the Cobblestone Museum at (585) 589-9013 during regular hours – 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
Families, individuals, small businesses and organizations are invited to take advantage of this opportunity to sell what they have to offer, while supporting the historic Cobblestone Museum.
Booths are $20 for a 10’ x 10’ space. Sellers must bring their own table, chairs and canopy if they desire some shade.
As an added feature, Weidner’s chicken barbecue will be sold at the food tent from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. or sold out. Tickets are $15 in advance (and can be ordered by calling the museum) or $17 the day of the event.
The Cobblestone Museum is located on Route 104 just north of Albion at the intersection of Route 98. The event will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Ample free parking is available across the road along the grounds of the Thompson-Kast Visitors Center.
