For the Thrill of the Hunt..Shop the Open Air Market in Peekskill
Treasure and bargain hunting opens for the season at the Open Air Market: Antiques and Treasures in Downtown Peekskill on Sunday April 6, 2008. The market will be held every Sunday through October 26.
Now in its third year, the market's organizer Sue DeGregorie, owner of Retrovato Consignments in Peekskill, expects between 25 and 50 vendors every week, from dealers with collectible items, antiques, local artisans and craft vendors to many people who are simply cleaning out their attics. "You never know what bargains and treasures you will find - there is always something new and different every week," she said.
DeGregorie initially began thinking about the event as a way to revitalize the downtown Peekskill area during the slow weekends. "I am thrilled that the market brings in many people from outside of the area and it generates business not only for the vendors, but for many of the local coffee shops, delis, restaurants and stores as well."
Vendor spaces are just $35 and pre-registration is required. Sponsored by the Peekskill Business Improvement District (BID), the event and parking is free for shoppers.
The Open Air Market: Antiques and Treasures in Downtown Peekskill is open from 8am to 4pm every Sunday from April 6 through October 26, rain or shine. The market is located on Bank and Park Streets, in Peekskill's Historic Artist and Business District. Call 914 734- 2750 for more information.
