\nKirsten Lambert almost skipped the \u201chorserace stuff\u201d when she was stocking her new Saratoga Springs shop, the Tailgate and Party Shop at 53 Caroline St.
\nNow, she finds, those products are \u201cprobably my best sellers.\u201d
\nShe said even though people cannot attend Saratoga Race Course in person, they are having \u201cwatch\u201d parties at home with friends or may just want the souvenirs. She has also sold more outdoor games than she anticipated, including cornhole and horseshoes.
\nThe shop, which opened at the beginning of June, offers picnic baskets, coolers and games for tailgaters, as well a complete line of party supplies; hostess gifts, including washable paper bags; \u201can eclectic kind of goofy gifts\u201d and candles.
\nA best seller is a wine tumbler with horses going around it. Far-sighted shoppers are grabbing up Saratoga-themed Christmas tree ornaments. We sell \u201cparts for the party and entertainment for the entertainer,\u201d Lambert said.
\nFor now, the items in stock come from \u201cliterally all over the country\u201d but, Lambert said, her priority is finding more local vendors. \u201cThe hardest part of getting started was figuring out where to order from.\u201d
\n\u201cThings are going well, considering,\u201d she said. Crowds vary. \u201cWe had an amazing Friday,\u201d she recalled, \u201cand Sunday, no one. It\u2019s been very strange.\u201d On the plus side, she noted, other local business people have been \u201cvery sweet,\u201d helpful, and welcoming.\u201d
\nThis is Lambert\u2019s first business venture. She spent 25 years as a sixth grade social studies teacher in New Jersey. She and her family came to Saratoga every summer and she fell in love with the place. They moved to Saratoga Springs a year ago when she retired.
\nShe said that she got the idea for the store when she was preparing an 80th birthday celebration for her mother. \u201cI wanted to go find my mother 80th birthday plates and couldn\u2019t even find them in the grocery store or anything and I was, like, \u2018You know, we kind of need this.\u2019\u201d
\nThe Tailgate and Party Shop is located on the corner of Henry and Caroline streets. It is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday; and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. The telephone number is 518 886-9015. The shop website is tailgateandparty.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
