Shelburne Day – celebrating our community
If the words Shelburne Day bring to mind an image of a double row of tents set up in the heart of Shelburne Farmers Market on the third Saturday of August, brace yourself for a new image.
That busy, shoulder-to-shoulder sociable event is another victim of the Covid 19 Pandemic, and in the interests of health and safety, SBPA is planning to offer the kind of Shelburne Day we used to have -- a 'tents on the sidewalk' opportunity for local businesses to move out into the sunshine and meet the people … with masks and safe distancing, of course.
On Saturday, August 15, the traditional third Saturday day, members of SBPA are being invited to put up their pop-up tents, display their wares, and get ready to meet the public. In addition, SBPA is inviting non-profits like Scouts and service groups and other organizations to set up tents and tables, on the Town Green in front of Jamie Two Coats Toy Store, to tell their stories to the strolling folks.
Aware that everyone is concerned about safety and community spread these days, SBPA is abiding by the guidelines, local and statewide, for our event. With the recent passing of an interim zoning bylaw in Shelburne, SBPA members selling on their own property are complying with the regulations for curbside service, well within the guidelines. The information tables for non-profits and other community organizations such as the 4-H or the Dog Park will be set apart to prevent 'crowding' and no selling will be allowed at those tables.
Anyone with an interest in participating in this retro Shelburne Day should reach out to Shelburne Day Coordinator Steve Mayfield at Shelburne Country Store. Steve@ShelburneCountryStore.com
