Nothin’ New in Newton vendor fair coming Saturday

Nothin’ New in Newton, a brand new event, is set for 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday at the Hawkeye Stages parking lot east of Hy-Vee. The event, which is free to attend, will have a variety of vendors with products to sell, as well as food stands.

“Come and shop and see what you like,” said Libbie Marshall, executive director of Weekend Pit Stop. Nothin’ New in Newton is the latest in a line of events, such as Thunder Nites and Crusin’ to Newton, that Weekend Pit Stop has offered.

“(There will be) a real variety of things going on, which will make it interesting and give everybody something to look at,” Marshall said.

Vendors will be selling a assortment of merchandise from crafts and antiques to collectables and products from their home-based businesses. There will also be baked goods to purchase and food vendors available.

If the event, which was an idea that came from a Newton resident, is successful, Marshall hopes to add a spring show along with the one currently in the fall. Also, she would like to move it to the square, where the other Weekend Pit Stop events are held.

Weekend Pit Stop is a nonprofit organization founded by Newton residents to promote Newton and all it has to offer.
