(OCEAN CITY, Md.) - Black Friday shoppers rejoice!
The season of gift giving is near and Ocean City has a holiday shopping fair. Bring the whole family to the Roland E. Powell Convention Center in Ocean City, November 25-27, for a shopping extravaganza, featuring more than 120 vendors.
A tradition that dates back to 1983, the Holiday Shopper's Fair features unique gifts for everyone on your shopping list, including art and craft items, hand painted furniture, quilted handbags, ornaments, candles, jewelry, florals and other specialty gift items. Organizers say you'll also find toys, pet items and sports related memorabilia, nautical items, stained glass, country wood crafts, lighted baskets and ceramics.
Non-profit organizations will also be on hand including Quilters by the Sea, the Ocean City Volunteer Fire Company Ladies Auxiliary, Delmarva Cat Connection with cat/kitten adoptions and art and craft items, and Town Cats with adoptions, puzzles and other gift items for sale. Believe in Tomorrow and the Marine Corp League will also be attending.
Face painting and games will be offered this year for children and these activities are included in the price of admission to the show. To add to the holiday cheer, Santa will be making a daily appearance from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Be sure to stop by and find out if you are on the naughty or nice list!
Door prize drawings will be held every hour on the half hour (must be present to win) and for the non-shopper, a television room will be open showing football games. Show hours are Friday, November 25, and Saturday, November 26, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Sunday, November 27, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $3 for the weekend. Children 13 and under are admitted free.
