Awesome shopping. Make sure you allow plenty of time to see everything. Lots of neat gifts, antiques and much much more. You can even enjoy a relaxing lunch, smoothies and fudge.

Lovely shop that is home to vendors selling vintage, collectibles, and new goods. There is a small Cafe in part of it too. The building doesn't look like much from the outside, but don't let that fool you. This is an inviting place with friendly staff!

Always love going to check out all the different booths at the Gathering. You could spend hours in there and not see everything. It is a great way to spend a day!

We also have new boutique items including clothing, handbags and jewelry. Our cafe serves locally roasted coffee, sandwiches, salads, desserts, and fudge made daily.
