On Sunday, February 7th, between 12 noon and 5 pm, Salon Milton will hold its annual benefit for the Milton Historical Society. Last year I had great fun filming the day’s events with my Flip Video camera. It was one of my first and you can watch that video here Fun Fundraising in Milton!.
Salon Milton, located at 517 Chestnut Street in Milton, marks its fourth year of operation on the same day and it promises to be a fun event. The salon offers hair cuts, manicures and a bake sale – all to benefit the Milton Historical Society. Casa San Francisco benefits all winter long from canned food that you drop off at the salon.
To schedule yourself for a hair-cut or manicure please call ahead at 302-684-1880.

It’s that time of year again! Antiques in Milton, my favorite antique shop on Union Street has put together the 2nd Annual Antique Show to benefit the Milton Historical Society. Last year, I found some wonderful items including an ornament tree that will come out again for the holidays.

This show is just one of the reasons Autumn is my favorite time of year in Coastal Delaware. Look for the show right next to the Lydia Cannon Museum, 210 Union Street, Milton, Delaware.

Saturday, September 12th, from 4 – 8 pm, you don’t want to miss the Annual Best of Milton Auction and Party. This year, the Party will be held at the Milton FireHall, located right in the heart of town.

Milton Historical Society

Every year there is wonderful artwork, antiques and unique items available at both the silent and live auction. Last year, all I can say is that Bill and I could not walk home with our purchases! We always find things we just can’t live without and it’s for such a great cause. The Milton Historical Society brings out the best in this small town.

Then, on Saturday, September 19th, the place to be is the 2nd Annual Historical Society Antiques Show on the grounds of the Historical Society. Organized and promoted by Matt Grieg, owner of Antiques in Milton, this show looks like another successful event in Milton that is destined to become an annual event.
