BENNINGTON — The Better Bennington Corporation will contribute to the celebration of Jay’s Art Shop & Frame Gallery‘s 50th Anniversary with a presentation and honorary Ribbon Cutting on Friday, April 29 at 11:00 a.m. The event is free and open to the public.
Jay’s will be open at 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. with their annual MEGA-sale of 50% off of everything except picture framing. Their store has a plethora of inventory from clothing, umbrellas, and cards to arts and crafts supplies and souvenirs. This sale is especially incredible as they are doing it for the 50th time!
Jay and Joan Zwynenburg moved to Bennington from Pennsylvania in 1971 after Jay’s career as a General Manager. They fell in love with the town and decided they wanted to open a gift shop and framing gallery right in the middle of everything. They have been a beloved fixture in Bennington’s Downtown ever since.
The public is invited to join the celebration at 11:00 a.m. as the Zwynenburg are honored for their dedication to Bennington’s downtown and for their impeccable service over the years to our entire community.
