Bargains on the Br0adkill promises fun for all in Milton Aug. 9
By Rosanne Pack and an Italian sausage sandwich
This year's BargainS on the
Broadkill will host many familiar
and favorite features, but there
will also be new faces and even
some new, fun food.
Set for Saturday, Aug. 9, 9 a.m.-
3 p.m., admission to the annual
event is free and it presents crafts,
antiques, arts, a variety of food
and flea market booths. Ed Harris,
president of the Milton Chamber
of Commerce said that those at-
tending are in for a treat as they
enjoy frequent exhibitors and ac-
tivities and also meet new visitors
who have signed up for booth
space.
"We have done some recruiting,
and we are really pleased with the
exhibitors that we have been able
to sign up," Harris said. "We will
have five new antique dealers this
year. Everyone looks forward to
seeing familiar faces return, but
it's great to have new ones, too.
Add to those, a flag maker that has
not exhibited with us before, and
new food booths, and we are look-
ing at a great family event."
Laughing, Harris admits that he
was drawn to food vendors who
serve up what he likes to eat. The
chamber recently signed up a New
Jersey maker of Italian water ice,
dealer. There will also be a fresh
seafood dealer, and the Milton Li-
ons Club returns with the ever-
popular funnel cake. Hot dogs and
hamburgers will also be available
along with a variety of drinks and
snack foods.
"All right, so I tried to attract
people who make what I like to
eat," Harris said. "But I know
everyone will enjoy our food ven-
dors."
Another added attraction this
year will be sidewalk sales set by
some downtown merchants.
Downtown Union Street is just
around the comer and within easy
walking distance from Milton
Memorial Park where Bargains is
set up between Chandler Street
and the Broadkill River. Harris
said that those who have indicated
that they will have items out for a
sidewalk sale include the new
Tackle Shack, the Riverwalk
Shoppe, Milton Hardware and
Jailhouse Art and Antiques.
"This will give our merchants
good exposure, and it will let
some who are not familiar with
Milton know some of the things
that are available in the area,"
Harris said.
For children, there will be a va-
"Extremities" performance
slated for Nassau Vineyards
By Rosanne Pack
The language is strong and the
subject matter disturbing, but it's
a story that needs to be told. That
is the feeling of the director and
cast of "Extremities," a dramatic
production scheduled for Nassau
Valley Vineyard next month.
Presented by the independent
theatre company, Schatteboute
Productions, the drama is for adult
viewing, and it will serve a cause
that benefits adults and children.
Except for basic production
costs, all proceeds from the $10
admission will benefit Families in
Transition, a shelter and resource
program for women and families
that are victims of domestic vio-
lence.
Show dates are August 16, 17,
22, 23, 24, 29 and 30, and all per-
formances are at 8 p.m.
"My interpretation of the title
and the theme is that the play ex-
plores the extremes of human be-
havior," said Tommye Staley, di-
rector.
"You see people pushed to the
limit, and sometimes over the
edge when they are subjected to
extreme pressures."
Staley said that the plot centers
on a sexual attack on a young
woman and how she reacts to her
attacker. As the production pro-
gresses, many psychological ap-
proaches to denying or excusing
unacceptable behavior are ex-
plored.
Staley said, "You will hear so
many things that women tell
themselves and each other, and
the fears that arise when they need
to tell others of sexual abuse: The
women who say that they proba-
bly 'asked for it' by the way that
they were dressed or where they
happened to be. The women who
have low self esteem and who
know that they will be disbelieved
if they try to tell of sexual abuse."
The public school teacher said
that the feelings and fears are to
common, and even if the subject
makes people uncomfortable,
these are issues that need to be
confronted.
She said, "We have to make
ourselves deal with things that we
don't do well."
The director said she was very
encouraged when Peggy Raley of
Nassau Valley Vineyards agreed
to the use of the vineyard building
for the presentation of "Extremi-
ties."
"Since I saw 'Psycho Beach
Party' there last summer, I've
wanted to use this space," Staley
said.
"And when I approached Peg-
gy, she was so agreeable. Since
then, everything has fallen into
place. I have the cast to carry a
show like this, the location I want-
ed and a worthwhile cause that we
can benefit."
Appearing in "Extremities" are
Lee Adan, Debbie Hammond,
Kane Mowrey and Georgiana Sta-
ley.
Seats are not reserved, but those
wishing to attend "Extremities"
can reserve a ticket by calling
645-9463.
riety of activities, including
clowns and jugglers, games and li-
brary events. Youngsters may be
surprised with hand-outs of free
balloons and trinkets. The well-
known Milton Clipper Express, a
mini-train engineered by the Mil-
ton Lions, will carry visitors
around the park for a view of the
entire set-up of Bargains on the
Broadkill.
A special event sponsored by
the Friends of the Milton Public
Library, local author Ed Okonow-
icz, will be present to sign copies
of his books, "Disappearing Del-
marva: Portraits of the Peninsula
People" and his local ghost series,
"Spirits between the Bays." From
10 a.m. until 1 p.m., Okonowicz
will meet the public and talk about
the more than 70 people included
in "Disappearing Delmarva" and
the uncounted former people in
the "Spirit" series. The real people
in his "portrait" book are all prac-
ticing professions that are almost
of another era: oyster shuckers,
ferry boat pilots, soap makers,
trappers and fishnet makers.
Water fowl sales are already un-
derway as the Great Milton Duck
Race again prepares to ply the wa-
ters of the Broadkill during the
day of BargainS. For the price of a
duck, $3 or S5 for two, partici-
pants take a chance on winning
$250 cash or assorted prizes. The
second prize is a hot air balloon
ride for two people, and the third
prize is an light air plane ride for
two. There will be other prizes do-
nated by local Milton merchants.
The rubber duck race is set for
late in the day of BargainS and
tickets are available from chamber
members. They will also be on
sale the day of the event.
The event annually attracts sev-
eral thousand visitors to Milton.
Harris said, in addition to shop-
ping and food, many of Milton's
historical features such as the
Governor's Walk and the Lydia B.
Cannon Museum are close and
available to the public.
