Photos: Olde Towne Market’s Cup Match Theme
The St George’s Olde Towne Market organisers and vendors held their market day yesterday [July 26], with the event featuring a Cup Match theme, with many items adorned with icons, symbols, and colours representing Someret and St. George’s.
The day also featured a special event called the Shop and Win, a Crown and Anchor themed game played with vendors, area businesses, shoppers.
The market consists of approximately 20 vendors offering a variety of locally made and imported items, and is held along Water Street in St. George’s.

I’d like to leave a note for the vendor who displayed gel candles enhanced with sea shells and Bermuda sand. Unfortunately, hot liquid gel saturates the entire surface of sand in the bottom of a container, thus making it highly inflammable. If wick is allowed to burn low, it will ignite the sand base, producing high flames and black smoke that will soar out of the glass, threatening fabrics, household objects. etc. Gels can be beautiful but dangerous ornaments.
I am speaking from experience as I have been making gel candles for the Bermuda market for some fifteen years. I still make my shell embellished gels but DO NOT use sand. If the vendor would like to speak to me personally, he/she can contact me. Name is in phone book.
