On Saturday, May 15th, St. Peter's Church is holding an old-fashioned street fair and rummage sale from 10am-4pm. The fair will benefit the church's mission to El Salvador this July. Great items for sale: furniture, decorative goods, clothing, books, jewelry & more. Enjoy live music, arts & crafts for kids and adults, ping pong, food & bevvies, chair massage and the wonderful opportunity to meet friends old and new! The fair will be held along Prospect Street and Church Alley so stop by before or after the Dogwood Parade. Raindate is May 16.
Over the next couple of months, three local businesses will be closing their doors. On Saturday, February 16th, Polka Dots will be closing their store at 246 Bridge Street. The shop, a women's clothing boutique, opened nearly two and a half years ago but has recently found business slow. --- Originally, (owner Susan) Randels said that the store was doing well, but that the momentum could not keep up. "The things that sold in Paoli didn't sell in Phoenixville," she said, adding that some customers thought that the store was too expensive or the sizing did not go high enough (size 12 being the highest size sold). "We tried everything." Randels also said that parking was an issue for many of her customers who could either not find spaces or did not feel safe parking behind the store. --- Polka Dots remains open until the 16th, with hours on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. The phone number is 610-935-5914.
