SHELTON - Celebrate Shelton creators Nicole Heriot-Mikula, Michael Skrtic, and Jimmy Tickey are looking forward to the June Downtown Handmade Market, sponsored by SolarCity.
“Our goal is to ignite a greater sense of community while bringing a positive presence to downtown Shelton," Heriot-Mikula said.
Tickey added, "The Monthly Downtown Handmade markets have become a destination for small businesses, artisan vendors, eateries, and culture as residents from Shelton join to shop local."
Skrtic said, “We want to encourage our families, friends, and neighbors to shop locally and support our local businesses."
Just in time for Father’s Day, Saturday's market will feature live music and 20 handmade vendors - from teas to seasonal spices; from men’s soaps and lotions to home goods. The Downtown Handmade Market is free to enter with ample free parking.
This will be the last Downtown Handmade Market until October.
