Downtown Handmade Market planned this weekend in Shelton

Celebrate Shelton to launch 'around town' handmade market at Valley United Way

SHELTON - In 2014, Nicole Heriot-Mikula, Michael Skrtic, and Jimmy Tickey created Celebrate Shelton as an initiative focusing on small businesses in Shelton and the surrounding community with free, family-friendly events.

Throughout the year, Celebrate Shelton sponsors several Downtown Handmade Markets with specialty artisan vendors, the Downtown Sounds Summer Concert Series as well as a Holiday Community Tree Lighting in downtown Shelton.

This year, the Downtown Handmade Markets will be moving around town highlighting new areas, businesses and non-profits in Shelton.
The first Downtown Handmade Market... Around Town will be held Feb. 11 and 12 at the Valley United Way. 

Support Valley United Way
This particular market will focus on shopping local, and giving local as we encourage attendees to make a donation to the leading nonprofit in our community, the Valley United Way. 

"Our Valley United Way works in Shelton, Derby, Seymour, Ansonia, and Oxford to strengthen families, support senior citizens, help people in crisis, and prepare youth to succeed, and we are thrilled to partner with them for this special Downtown Handmade Market," Tickey said.

Just in time for Valentine's Day, the Downtown Handmade Market will feature artisan vendors - from handmade soaps to one-of-a-kind jewelry, and gifts for both men and women.  
There will also be a mini-chocolate tasting and Make-Your-Own-Valentines for children. 
Ample, free parking is located in the Valley United Way parking lot and on Grove Street.

“When we shop local, we are supporting business owners who are our friends and neighbors, while strengthening our local economy. We invite you to join us for our February Downtown Handmade Market and purchase locally-made goods just in time for Valentine's Day. Join us as we shop local, give local, and love local," Heriot-Mikula and Skrtic said.
