“We’ve brought together elements of our most popular past events for this show and added a showcase of what is new at the bookstore and on Main Street in general for 2016.” said Peterson, who cites curiosity about the bookstore’s future and plans for the new year as the genesis for the addition of live music and a few select vendors to the show.  “If people want to know what To Be Continued has to offer the town this year for cultural events or nightlife or products and services this is a chance to find out first hand and directly from those who will be making it all happen.”

Last year’s pop up gallery hosted well over 100 guests over its four hour span and the hope is to attract even more this year by increasing the opportunities for vendors and artists that are new to the area. Some of the art will be for sale and at least three vendors will have one day only sales.  Vintage purses and accessories will be offered by Vivere Vintage, I Love Lamp will continue to clear out its inventory of handmade spirit bottle lighting and local artisan Lori Ellen will be premiering her latest collection for the first time ever in Metuchen.
