Hours – 9:00 a.m. to noon
Shannon Calley/Calley Coastal Jewelry and Art, Carla Fuller/Gypsy Soul Boutique, Marisa Kuntz/The Bohemery, Ashley Smith and Teresa Hartman/YardArt will be waiting to see you in the morning. Please stop by and say hello.
After visiting the Old Beach Markets, wander down to the 17th Street Marketplace. See OBAM favorites like Shannon Calley and Carla Fuller after OBAM closes.
Another fun stop would be The VB Flea – behind Three Ships Coffee on 19th Street just east of the Old Beach Markets.
Lots of good reasons to come to Old Beach tomorrow.
And next week –
19th Street will have a different look on Saturday, October 28th. The Anthem Wicked 10K begins at 8:00 a.m. going east on 19th. A costume contest is part of this event so it’s usually good for some laughs.
No OBAM – no EBLAST so our next note will be on November 17th. Until then….

ARTS MAKE A MAJOR ECONOMIC IMPACT IN VIRGINIA BEACH
Did you know that last year, the arts generated $87.7 million in Virginia Beach alone?
This spending supported 2,875 jobs, generated $52.5 million in income to local residents and returned about $7 million to local and state governments in the form of tax revenues.
This data was recently shared in the Arts & Economic Prosperity 5 study conducted by Americans for the Arts and supported by The Ruth Lilly Fund of Americans for the Arts.

Some of our favorite folks are with us tomorrow
Virginia Beach is enjoying a beautiful week – the kind of weather we only dreamed of not so long ago. It’s another great day to shop at Old Beach.
Feeling like it’s all going to the dogs?
Well, that’s because it is!
Tomorrow is Dog Day at Old Beach Markets
Dogs are always welcome at Old Beach but especially tomorrow. Don’t come alone – bring your best friend for treats and products dedicated to them. For instance, look at the 100% untreated cotton macrame rope chew toys for the dogs in your life – available at The Bohemery and the lovely pendant – created by Keli At The Water’s Edge – for you or your sweetie.
Best of all, the pendant could be yours for free. Stop by At The Water’s Edge to enter the drawing and to snag a treat for your dog. Drawing is at 11:30 and you don’t have to be present to win.
There’s a costume contest and your pup could win – just register at the Old Beach Market tent and have a picture taken at It all started with a fig. The winner will be chosen by a poll of Old Beach customers.
THIS WEEK’S MARKET
Saturday’s forecast calls for another lovely September day.
The Art Market looks lovely, too.
We’ll have ContraVan, Kym Bach (welcome back, Kym), Shannon Calley,
Teresa Hartman, Suzanne Jeffers, Maria Kuntz , Keli Hindenach and our Marvelous Market Manager –Ashley Smith plus newcomer Lauren Goldrich.
Lauren will paint your face for a pittance. You could come away looking just like your dog!
