Seafood, Canning & Collectibles Sale
The Dorchester County Historical Society will host its third annual show and sale of Delmarva seafood, canning memorabilia and more at the East New Market Volunteer Fire Department on Feb. 16 from 10am to 4pm. This year the show and sale includes more memorabilia, ephemera and regional antiques, while the main focus will still be on the rich seafood packing and vegetable canning industries of years past from Delmarva.
Vendors and displays from Havre de Grace to the Eastern Shore of Virginia will be on hand for this agriculture and heritage related event. It’s a great event for collectors of canning and seafood related memorabilia as well as those who love the history, art and culture of this time period in Delmarva history. For those who have not experienced this particular history or hobby, this will be a perfect time to become introduced.
For more information or to rent tables, call 410-228-7953 or 443-786-8522 or email dchs@verizon.net. Table rental costs $20 each. Admission to this event is free, although donations to the Dorchester County Historical Society, a qualified nonprofit organization, are appreciated.
