Antwerp’s Day in the Park Getting Close!

Day in the Park parade 2021

Deadlines have come and gone, food vendors, craft vendors and direct sales vendors, business vendors are all signed up and ready for 2022 Day in the Park – Island Vibes! on August 13th. 50/50 tickets are printed, silent auction items are being donated, and Cutie Pie submissions are being received daily! Antwerp Chamber met in their regular meeting on Wednesday, July 20th to finalize all plans for Day in the Park. Gem of the Year was decided (look for their feature in an upcoming issue!)

Along with the craft and direct sales vendors, this year Day in the Park is offering something new for attendees of Day in the Park — Young Makers’ Market. This new category is for the young entrepreneurs in our midst (children and youth up thru 16 years old) who want to exhibit their wares to the public. If you are a young entrepreneur, contact Mike Schneider at 419-506-1035 to reserve your space for August 13th. Keep a look out for the updated Vendor Form on antwerpchamber.com or Antwerp chamber of commerce Facebook page.

Don’t forget about the Parade! This year’s theme is Island Vibes. Think “6 Days, 7 Nights”, “Castaway”, “Gilligan’s Island”, “Lost”, “The Rock”, “Big Hero 6”, “Jurassic Park” … you get the idea. We want to see some creative ideas about Islands for the parade. Contact Audrey Feasby at 419-506-0030 to register for this year’s parade.

There is still time if you are a Direct Sales vendor, a crafter, business organization, or food vendor and would like to set up at the 2022 Day in the Park. Contact the Antwerp Chamber of Commerce at antwerpchamber@gmail.com or send a message on Chamber Facebook page.
