Angola by the Bay annual craft show set July 20
Angola by the Bay will host its 49th annual craft show from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, July 20, rain or shine, at its community clubhouse at 33457 Woodland Circle,Lewes.
More than 125 vendors from throughout Delaware and neighboring states will be selling their wares including stained-glass works, handmade fabric items, lawn ornaments, clothing, bath and body products, driftwood art, cigar box guitars, photographs, jewelry, fishing lures, original paintings and more.
“The ABTB craft show has an incredible mix of vendors from fine art to affordable crafts,” said Kathy Fessenbecker, a local artist. “The best part is that we all stay cool under trees in a grove next to the parking lot that keep us shaded.”
The event has become a locals’ favorite. Shoppers get to stroll through a lovely, wooded area where rows of vendors display their goods. Parking and admission are free, and customers may purchase drinks and food provided by the ABTB men’s club, the Owls.
“The ABTB Craft Fair is one of my favorite shows,” said Yvonne Torelli, an oil painting artist who has been coming for years. “It’s a lovely setting in cool shade. The vendors and show volunteers are all so kind and helpful. The coffee and donuts are also so sweet and thoughtful. The show is well attended with a wide variety of items, which is beneficial to vendors as well as our guests. Most importantly, there is thorough advertising to create a successful outcome.”
The craft show is sponsored by the Sea Gals, part of the ABTB community. Established in 1975, the Sea Gals is a social and a fundraising group made up of 70 women who contribute monies raised to support local nonprofit organizations, charitable groups and projects within the ABTB community and surrounding area.
