Artisan's Market to debut in downtown Shelton
SHELTON - Shoppers from near and far have fond memories of a monthly handmade market that used to be in the Conti building, 415 Howe Ave.
Well, shoppers rejoice!
The Conti building has announced the introduction of a new market, set to debut from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Oct. 1 to coincide with Shelton Day!
Simply named The Artisan's Market, the event is made possible with the help of a group of passionate small business tenants within the Conti building.
True to its name, the event will feature handmade artisans showcasing their unique products, with direct and easy access from the parking lot entrance.
The Conti building is home to an eclectic mix of community-minded small businesses, each with its own character and passion.
From manufacturing to direct-to-consumer retail, the 150+ year-old building also boasts an independent coffee shop, Shelton’s one-and-only bookstore, and even a haunted house in the basement (seasonal)!
Check out the building’s web site at https://www.415howeave.com/directory/ for an up-to-date directory.
Crafters and artisans interested in participating in October’s market (and any future dates) should contact Kathy Benedetto, co-owner of Legends of the Heart/The Odd Piece, at kbenedetto@yahoo.com ASAP.
Space is limited and going fast!

Wesley Village to collect donations at Shelton Day Sunday
To help support music and memory program
SHELTON - Planning to attend the Shelton Day festivities this Sunday?
SHELTON - Planning to attend the Shelton Day festivities this Sunday?
Members of the Shelton community are encouraged to visit the Wesley Village tent and help support individuals struggling from dementia and other cognitive and physical impairments.
Wesley Village will be collecting spare change donations to purchase digital music files for their Music and Memory program, offered on their senior living campus at 580 Long Hill Ave.
The Music and Memory program, rooted in extensive neuroscience research, involves training care professionals to set up personalized music playlists, delivered on iPods and other digital devices, for those in their care.
These musical favorites can then tap deep memories not lost to dementia, which enable patients and residents to converse, socialize, stay present, and feel like themselves again. The program was made possible with the help of a grant from the Valley Community Foundation, which enabled the campus to purchase iPods and other technology needed for music collection and storage and costs associated with staff training and instruction. Anyone who would like to support the program is asked to stop by with a donation of spare change to help purchase music.
For more information about Music & Memory and the life-changing benefits of personalized therapeutic music, visit www.musicandmemory.org.

The campus is owned and operated by United Methodist Homes, a local, faith-based, not-for-profit organization serving all members of the community and is located at 580 Long Hill Ave.
