Fenton Street Market

Visit the Fenton Street Market this week!
Hours: 10am - 4pm
Location: Veterans Plaza (corner of Fenton St. & Ellsworth Dr.) in downtown Silver Spring

Come for the vendors, stay for the jokes! This week we have another sold out show with over 60 vendors, plus the 3rd Annual Fenton Street Market Joke Fest!

Some not-to-be-missed vendors include:

Italy in Color: Bill returns to FSM with his amazing collection of analog photos
Bellanova: pick up some sparkly finery like bindis & hair jewelry
CB4G: greeting cards featuring photographed street art
Funny Face Face Painting: stop by Sherry's booth for face painting
The Cleansing Breath: learn about energy healing sessions to help with pain management & stress relief
Marcella Volini Paper Goods: collage & stationary on handmade paper
Squishaus: plush monsters made from upcycled socks
YB Green Recycled Glass Jewelry: made from glass bottles from New Orleans to raise awareness about glass recycling

Shoppers with a soft spot for vintage pieces will have plenty to choose from: Lucky Girl Vintage is back with lots of furniture and home decor items and Quarter Life Vintage always has a well curated booth full of the best vintage clothing and accessories.

Joke Fest 2012: After telling a joke on mic, children from ages 1-12 will receive an age-appropriate book (of their choice) authored by the How-To Cowboy (aka Edward Allan Faine). Young ones can make an animal sound in lieu of joke. Thanks to Cindi Scafide, State Farm of Silver Spring, for sponsoring the Joke Fest.

Wit's End Puppets will perform from 10am-noon & CREATE Arts Center will sponsor craft activities for kids from noon-2pm.

Don't forget to pick up a crepe, bag of mini-donuts or iced coffee from Miguel and his gang. And the Riverdale Model Train Club will be running their trains under the canopy!
