Tamanend Park to Host Vendors, Artists, Herbs

The weather could determine if Andy Pickford registers a dozen more vendors for Saturday's Tamanend Park flea market, or just holds steady with the 26 who already signed up to sell their wares. 

"Usually this week is when I get a lot of the vendors," said Pickford, vice president of the Friends of Tamanend ParkThey always base it on the weather. Usually they’ll call later in the week."

And that's OK with Pickford, who said "we have plenty of room" to accommodate more than the 26 vendors registered so far.  

Besides vendors selling wares ranging from CDs, household items and more, the Friends will be selling food and beverages with proceeds benefitting various Tamanend Park beautification and maintenance projects.

"We don’t really look at the flea market as far as the money coming in," Pickford said, adding that the goal is to "get as many people from the community to actually come into the park and explore the park."
