On July 8, the Lewes ReStore hosted the inaugural outdoor Marketplace. More than 40 vendors sold arts and crafts, antiques, clothing, jewelry, cooking products, essential oils, custom t-shirts, and more on the front lawn of the Route 9 location. Local businesses promoted their services and a popular hot dog stand was on hand. For many of the shoppers, the Marketplace was a first-time visit to the Lewes ReStore, which enjoyed a banner sales day.
The next ReStore Marketplace is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 19, from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., with two more to follow in September and October. For vendor information, contact Mary at 302-381-6031. The vendor fee is $40 per event. Proceeds from the Lewes and Georgetown ReStores support Sussex County Habitat home construction, neighborhood revitalization, and family empowerment programs.
