Berkshire Flea on Board
Back in early March, a few local crafts makers, vintage item merchants and local artisans were invited to a new and exciting flea market at The Saint Francis Gallery in South Lee. Berkshire Flea was a great success and future markets were promised. This time, the market will come to the Co-op. Berkshire Flea will be setting up shop at the Solstice Celebration and bringing unique and artistic vendors with them.
Kids Activities
Singer songwriter, David Grover will kick the celebration off with his combination of acoustic music and kids tunes. His show will be followed by a host of craft tables and, for the first year ever, a “Mini-Mudder” fashioned after the Tough Mudder race concept.
Clothing Swap/Shop
The Co-op is all about reuse. So, don’t throw away those old clothes, donate them to the Co-op. The New2You Clothing shop will then sell them for just $4 per bag. Donations are being accepted at the Co-op now.
And Then There’s the Food
The Co-op will start of the menu with a burrito bar that will feature vegetarian and meat options. Joining them will be the Papa Dog Hot Dog Cart, local ice cream and more.
