Downtown Depot Slates First Anniversary Party for May 23; The 1937 Flood Will Perform
By Huntingtonnews.net Staff
Huntington, WV (HNN) -- On Friday, May 23 The Downtown Depot, 401 9th Street Plaza, Huntington, will celebrate its first birthday with music by The 1937 Flood, a stone carving demonstration by well-known folk artist, Earl Gray, discounts on all artisan food products and birthday cake for everyone. This event was postponed from May 1 when an electrical problem forced its cancellation.
In its first year, The Downtown Depot has become a shopping destination for those seeking unique gifts, jewelry, toys and and home decorations. Throughout the year, work from new juried artisans such as clay scupltor Mayassan Shora Farra, photographers Teresa and Aaron Yeager, painters Ron Haeberle and Kathleen Hollett have been added so the Depot’s selection changes regularly. West Virginia note cards and refrigerator magnets by Debbie Sorenson, Up the Creek Mustards, and pottery from wild-life artist Susan Boyce, Paul Latos and Jo St. Myers are now featured at the shop.
Recently, a collection of Fenton Glass pieces, some of which are either retired or signed, was also added to the products featured at the Depot.
Old favorites like Wolf Creek Printery, Hinkle Glass, Bill Meadows and Susan Maslowski remain staples of the Depot’s product line. Photographs by Ric MacDowell, Betty Rivard and David Fattelah are available for gift giving or home decorating. Products also include several lines of bath and body products, food products, candles and music CDs – all by West Virginians.
For those who need a quick snack, aspirin or panty hose, The Downtown Depot has that too. In fact, it marks the return of sundry items to the downtown, missing in large part since the last drugstore closed. Soft drinks and ice cream snacks are available, as well.
The Downtown Depot is more than just another store; it also provides on-the-job training for Goodwill’s retail skills and hospitality programs.
The Downtown Depot is open Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
