Summer Sounds of Salem kicks off this Saturday and continues every Saturday through Labor Day. Come hear live music from 11a-1p while you shop a "real" farmer's market. (C'mon, this is Salem I'm talking about here!) It's a great way to recharge and there is no charge for the music! This year, the performers will be using the celebrated Front Porch donated by Salem Art Works, a front porch reproduction all the way from the U.K. that showcases the uniquely American tradition of "hanging out on the front porch." Just drive through town with your windows down - you can't miss it!
If you ever wanted to dip your toe into the Battenkill Valley then take this weekend - May 5-6 - to drive up to the Washington County Fairgrounds just east of Schuylerville (up the hill) on Rt. 29 and come to the big Antique Fair.
"We're looking at the largest show we've ever had," said Michael Green of Fairground Shows, NY. "We already have 225 dealers and more are calling everyday." Gates open at 8am and tickets - good for the whole weekend - are only $3. Sr.s just $2 and kids under 14, free. In addition to antiques for sale, several dealers will also provide appraisals for customer's antiques, so bring your stuff along and see what it's worth. That old piece of junk collecting dust could be worth a mint! See you there!
