Today: Last Chance To Go To Devon Horse Show & The Country Fair

DEVON, PA —Thousands of equestrian aficianados from all over the world flocked to the Devon Horse Show and Country Fair this week.

The 126th anniversary of the event was back in full swing after a two-year-hiatus due to the pandemic. The proceeds from the event support Bryn Mawr Hospital.

Today is the last day to stop in at the fair to pick up some unique gifts and treat yourself to milkshakes, fudge, lemon sticks and more.

There are 60 merchants selling crafts, clothing from all over the world, equestrian gear, art giftables, and more.

There is a long waiting list of vendors to get a spot at the fair.

Main Line moms selling giftable for all ages

Around the back of the country fair, two Main Line moms, Elisabeth Katona, 35, and Melissa Sinni, 42, were overjoyed to get a spot due to a last minute cancellation.

The moms own the Blue Beret, a shop in downtown Wayne featuring giftables for babies, children, art supplies, jewelry, books and puzzles.

“I came here as a little girl to enjoy the fun,” Katona said of the horse show.

Katona said she met Sinni through their children’s school, St. Katherine of Siena, Wayne. The two have backgrounds in merchandising. They partnered in retail and became great friends.

“We’re a couple of girls who always dreamed of having a store,” Katona said.

The shelves at the Blue Beret booth are lined with dazzling decorated headbands, purses, art supplies, and books.
