Discover Delaware Kenmore N.Y.

The loveley Village of Kenmore hosted the Discover Delaware event last weekend and a lot of fun was had by all.  Discover Delaware is the annual side walk sale in Kenmore N.Y. All the local merchants show off their goods and services, and many vendors show up from all over Western New York to introduce people to their company.

Tents, cars and shoppers lined Delaware Ave. in Kenmore N.Y. Saturday for the annual  Discover Delaware event.
 The street was lined with tents, balloons, cars, and shoppers. The day also kicks off the farmers market where you can pick up all kinds of fresh fruits, vegetables and live plants each Saturday on the front lawn of the Municipal building.

Fresh fruit, flowers, and produced filled the green in front of the Municipal Building where Delaware Rd. and Delaware Ave. meet.
 Just like last year, the day started out with a little rain. Not enough to ruin anything but just enough to scare the vendors, especially those who were brave enough to show up without tents. About a half an hour before the event, the sky cleared, the sun came out, and smiles replaced the pensive looks of all the vendors.

Our booth at Discover Delaware. We set up next to our neighbor The Wedding Agent. I ended up adding a few more things after I took this picture. The purses were hung from the back of the tent, and we displayed spring and summer scarves hanging from the side. They looked really cute blowing in the wind and added some attention to our booth.

Once the event started everyone seemed to have a really good time. Smiling shoppers filled Delaware going from tent to tent to see what each business had to offer. Some business's held demonstrations showing off what they have to offer, others held tent sales and there were some huge bargains to be found. We offered some of our sterling silver rings at 50% off and purses were 25% off.

The Wedding Agent set up a really nice display, showcasing her wedding planning skills. Her shop is really beautiful inside as well. If you're ever looking for our shop, we are directly behind "The
Wedding Agent" on Lincoln Blvd.
 Mia, our neighbor and owner of The Wedding Agent, set up a beautiful display, showcasing her decorative skills in wedding planning. Her shop is really beautiful on the inside as well. Her display got so many compliments. If you've never been to our shop before, we are the store behind The Wedding Agent on Lincoln Blvd. If you see The Wedding Agent, just turn on Lincoln Blvd. and were the first shop on the side entrance.

These dudes started jamming in the Piano in Public pavilion. I don't think this was planned and these guys were really great. This is what I like about the Piano in Public project.

There was a dj or radio station in front of Mike's Subs playing country music. A make shift band formed in the piano in public pavilion and they jammed for a couple hours. That was really a pleasant surprise. If you don't know about Pianos In Public click here to find out more. Kenmore has one in the gazebo where Delaware Ave, and Delaware Rd. meet, and it really is good fun ! It's so nice to step out of our shop and hear piano playing filling the air. It really makes the village seem to come alive.
This Piano is out all summer long in the Gazebo where Delaware Rd. and Delaware Ave meet.



If you've never attended Discover Delaware, you really want to pencil this in on your calender for next year. It's a lot of fun.

Time to get ready for Kenmore Days !
