The Bethlehem Area Public Library will be on-hand selling over 20,000 CDs for $1 apiece (and crates for $25 apiece) in order to raise money for the library\u2019s remodeling of its Bob Cohen Room. The CDs are not limited to punk rock, spanning many different genres from rock to blues to jazz to classical. The large CD collection previously belonged to a now-defunct record store and was recently donated to BAPL.<\/p>\n
Last year\u2019s event, which was held in the library\u2019s Bob Cohen Room, attracted an estimated 350 people surpassing attendance expectations and testing the capacity of the library\u2019s room. This year\u2019s flea market promises to be bigger and better, moving to the Ice House in Bethlehem to allow for more attendees and more vendors. Initial feedback from Tape Swap Radio social media and email suggests a significant increase in attendance is likely compared to last year.<\/p>\n
Over 40 vendors have already registered, which is more than double last year\u2019s 20 vendor total. Vendors will be selling vinyl records, cassette tapes, guitar pedals, drum machines, amps, other music instruments and equipment, skateboard products, original artwork, vintage clothes, band merchandise, local music memorabilia, zines, books, toys, games, minerals, handmade tapestries, jewelry, posters, and more.<\/p>\n
Vendors for this year include Lost Soul Skateboards, Killer Tofu Records, Vince’s Vintage, Lehigh Valley Girls Rock, Starling Rarities, Pinups for Pitbulls, Northern Vixen, Behind the Looking Glass, Second Banana Co., HaggisVitae Studios, KnichaelMight, Symbiotic Trash, Luckydog Essentia & Curios, Jupiter Crush, ScaredTooth, 2nd Base Vintage, and more. A handful of punk and music enthusiasts will also be selling personal items.<\/p>\n
Santoro’s Franks & Chili in Bethlehem will be selling beef and vegan franks as well as sides. There will also be coffee, soda, and water available. Bethlehem\u2019s DJ REVERBISCAR who spun records at last year\u2019s event will return to provide a soundtrack this year.<\/p>\n
