Head to the Summer Shindig at Mylan Park June 10.
Dads might be the hardest people to shop for. When in doubt, shop small for unique gifts. The second annual Rare Form Markets + Music Summer Shindig is happening Saturday, June 10, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.—you’ll find these great gift ideas and more there for the father figures in your life.
Parties & Peonies
You might be familiar with the now-famous Pepperoni Rolls T-shirts, as seen on ESPN during the Big 12 WVU basketball tournament. Everyone in your life who loves West Virginia and pepperoni rolls will enjoy Carol Miller’s creations for Parties & Peonies—aprons, shirts, and other blue & gold–themed gifts. Now is your chance to snag one. Use code PEPROLLS20 to save 20% off pepperoni rolls tees, sweatshirts, and aprons through August. Pick one up at the Summer Shindig for Father’s Day!
Loop Creative
A Loop Creative coffee mug might not say #1 Dad or some other cheesy thing, but it makes the perfect one-of-a-kind functional gift. Loop Creative has a wide variety of handmade items for foodies, nature lovers, and collectors of all things. There’s nothing like a locally made keepsake to show the ones you love how much they mean to you. Swing by LC’s booth at the market to find your father’s next favorite mug, and add a bag of freshly roasted coffee beans from Curbside Concoctions while you’re at it.
Songs & Stories
It wouldn’t be a Shindig without some great live music! Bring your music-loving dad to enjoy performances by local musicians Andy Benson, Austin Glaspell, Allen Beverly, and Michael Stewart. A few of these guys are fathers themselves, and they love nothing more than connecting with their audience. They span a variety of genres with their covers and original songs. Come hear their stories and listen to their newest songs and find out about their upcoming shows.
Taste and See Mobile Bakery
Does your dad have a sweet tooth? Stop by Michelle Taylor’s Taste and See mobile bakery to pick up some cupcakes to celebrate Father’s Day early. Taste and See is premiering its new gluten-free vanilla and chocolate cupcakes this June. Stop by to pick your favorite flavors, all served from the bakery’s beautifully decorated food trailer.
Tonique’s Trilogy
