Rediscovering Newark!


Remember to appreciate what you have close to home!

Last night we decided to check out the Farmer's Market downtown in Newark. I came home with some great locally grown vegetables and Unkle Timz peach salsa. From there, we walked around the square, looking in all the unique shops and dining on large "dogs". My favorite is Matilda Charlotte Antiques, etc. The owner has such a gift for display and showing rustic and formal pieces side by side and making it all look inviting. Makes me want to go home and start all over on my deocorating!

We thoroughly enjoyed listening to the Mayor's Concert held in the gazebo on the square in front of the Courthouse while enjoying a Chardonnay el fresco at Buckeye Winery. My daughter, Katie and I decided to take a carriage ride and learned all kinds of things about canal days and downtown we hadn't known before. We forget to look close to home for these fun little adventures, but Newark has some really rich history and some great things going on downtown on the last Friday of every month.
