PEMBERVILLE—Beeker’s General Store is seeking help from the public to complete a display of old and vintage sleds from Feb. 10 to March 10.
Anyone who has sleds that may be hiding in a barn, are still in use or that have special meanings can include their sled for the display.
This will be a great opportunity for younger patrons to learn about the evolution of sleds over the years and the wintertime fun associated with them. It will also allow older generations to relive days gone by.
If you would like to add your sled to the display, email info@beekersgeneralstore.com or stop in to fill out an entry form. Please include a photo(s) and, if known, the sled’s history or a story that makes the sled unique to you and your family. Requests to participate will be accepted now through Feb. 6. Sleds may be dropped off at Beeker’s Feb. 1-6.
Beeker’s General Store, one of Ohio’s oldest general stores, is celebrating 148 years. The red building, located at 222 E. Front St., is part of Pemberville’s original Brick Block and has housed a general store its entire life span.
Beeker’s is known for its array of items created by local artisans, an assortment of Amish goods, nostalgic gifts, vintage Christmas keepsakes and its “candy counter” where kids meet friends after sledding.
