Holiday Virtual Vendor Show 

Do your holiday shopping locally, and safely! Check out the available shopping options for each vendor, and make your purchases directly through them. Once you have made and paid for all of your purchases, orders will be available for a minimal contact pick up on Saturday, December 5, from 10am-3pm. Orders will be available at the CC Mellor Memorial Library, 1 Pennwood Ave, Edgewood (enter through the pergola). This is the same pick up as the library’s Holiday Greens Sale, so all items can be picked up at once! If this pick up option does not work for you, or you wish to make purchases later, please check with vendors for other pick up or delivery options. We encourage you to keep supporting these businesses after this vendor event!

Please see the list of participating vendors here!
