Bayville Native To Host Small Business Event In Philadelphia

BAYVILLE, NJ — A Bayville native and small business owner will be hosting an event in Philadelphia that showcases and supports other small businesses throughout South Jersey and Philly.

The Winter Sip & Shop event is set for Feb. 19 at 12 p.m. at Frankford Hall in Philadelphia (1210 Frankford Ave.).

Host Nikki McCartney, owner of Treat Your Shelf, said that this is the business's first time hosting a Sip & Shop in Philadelphia.

The public is invited to come support the local small businesses. Besides the food and drinks at Frankford Hall, the Winter Sip & Shop event will include vendors that will be selling all types of items including jewelry, clothing, home decor and more.

“This organization is the product of being inspired by watching the hard work of so many passionate and self-made women whom I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. It only made sense to host an event that celebrates community and small businesses,” McCartney said.
