Are you looking for unique Halloween costumes?
We just might have items you’re looking for at Bahoukas Antique Mall. Besides the standard mask or store costume, we have an eclectic selection of items that may add to your costume fun!
Yoda the legendary Jedi Master is always a favorite. This plastic mask is from 1979. But this size 6 child’s nurse’s costume is delightful.

And just in time, we have this deLIGHTful collectible. It’s actually a ‘bank’ – shaped like a plastic rocket (fireworks). It celebrates the Moon Shot of years ago. It’s nearly 3 feet tall. Imagine how many pennies it might hold!!!

In two weeks, our nation will celebrate our Independence!
It came with great effort from the vision of our forefathers and the lives lost in battle. Let us remember to take a moment to honor and truly appreciate the unique legacy they left for us.
Let us respect one another, practice civility, honor diversity, and be active citizens in our communities.
We wanted to share this unique collection of 7-UP cans. Can you make out what they show:
There are 50 cans, one for each state, and they make an image of Uncle Sam. Can you see it? The 3rd row down, if you can see the ‘eye’, then draw back a little, you’ll see Uncle Sam. They’re not aligned perfectly, but you’ll see it. Below are two examples of the information for each state.
Of course, here in Havre de Grace, our big celebration will take place on Sunday, July 2nd.
For Details – CLICK HERE Our theme this year is “Hometown Heroes”… join us on the front lawn of Bahoukas for the parade, hang out for the Downtown Block Party, the free concert (free tickets required and available beginning July 23rd) and the fireworks!

This weekend’s beautiful weather made me think of a great gift for the fisherman-dad!
Most of these are HEDDON FISHING LURES – wooden
Heddon Fishing Lures have a wonderful history dating back to the late 1890s. CLICK THIS LINK for the company history.
Heddon is a brand of artificial fishing lures created by James Heddon, (originally a beekeeper) who is credited with the invention of the first artificial fishing lures made of wood in the late 1890s ____from Wikipedia
(Apologies for the blur)
NOTE: the cannonball in the lower corner is not-for-sale, but George is researching it to see which war and which military might have used it. He’ll let you know when he finds out!
