Bettendorf area residents, who have neither the time nor energy this summer to organize their own garage sale, have good news.
The Bettendorf Business Network will sponsor a State Street Market at City Square on Saturday August 22nd from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. City Square is the newly cleared area immediately across from the Waterfront Convention Center in Downtown Bettendorf. This will be an inaugural City Square activity.
The State Street Market event will be open to individuals with goods to sell. Families are welcome to sell household items, rather than conduct their own garage sale. Backyard gardeners are invited to offer garden produce. Not-for-profit groups might use the occasion to sell products as a fund raiser. Artists and craftsmen will be encouraged to display and sell their work. Area merchants can use the market to replace a sidewalk sale. The event goal will be to bring as many buyers and customers together in one place, as possible.
State Street Market vendors will want to bring their own chairs tables and pop-up tents.
Buskers, musicians and entertainers who play for tips, are encouraged to participate.
Purgatory Pub, located across the street from City Square, intends to offer beverage, bands and bags. A bags tournament will be held from noon to 3 pm. The band, Bleach, plays from 6:30 to 8 pm. The band, Dive, an 80's rock band, plays from 9 until 11:20 pm.
The State Street Market joins with the Seventy-Fifth Anniversary Celebration of K and K Hardware which also occurs on Saturday, August 22nd, from 10:00am - 3:00 pm at 1818 Grant Street in downtown Bettdendorf. The celebration will include bounce houses and carnival games for kids, giveaways, food vendors (including La Flama, Golick's, and more), vendors, sales (BOGO Paint), live music.
