Elsie Kaye Artisan Gifts & Flamework Studio

Elsie Kaye Gift Shop &amp; Artisan Studio In 2009, on a whim, Holly Kenny took a flameworking class and learned to make glass beads. This sparked a love of glass art and led to the launch her business, Elsie Kaye Gift Shop and Art Studio in downtown Westborough. Holly currently teaches flameworking and metalworking at her studio and is on the faculty at the New England Craft Program in Williamsburg, MA. Holly loves the fluidity and movement of glass and enjoys incorporating metals, enamels and other elements that can change the texture and appearance of the glass. As a result, much of her work takes on an abstract, organic feel. Her work, under the name Elsie Kaye Glassworks, can be found at more than 50 boutiques and galleries across the country. Holly is passionate about promoting emerging local artists by selling their work at her retail shop, as well as helping to foster connections with new and existing businesses in the local area. She is an active member of her community, where she has lived with her husband and two children since 2006.

The Best Flippin' Card Show, a highly successful card show headquartered in Woburn, MA is headed back to Polar Park in Worcester, MA for a third time! The "mixer style" event covering ALL types of cards brings you a completely unique experience inside Polar Park, home of the Red Sox AAA affiliate, the WooSox, running from 9 AM - 5 PM, with entrance at the main Gate D.
On the covered concourse for this rain or shine event, you will find 85+ vendors selling everything from 10 cent cards all the way up to $10,000+, for all different types of budgets. Raw cards, slabs, boxes, packs, and supplies....you name it, we will have it on hand. Pokemon, One Piece, and other TCG's will be sold along with all of the major sports categories from some of the best dealers New England has to offer. It is a typical "mixer" event, like many of the other shows we throw.
There will be food and drink concessions for purchase all day inside the venue plus activities for the kids. Come out and meet some of the WooSox mascots and get a stencil tattoo done by <a target="_blank" href="https://partyfestini.com/" rel="nofollow noopener">Festini</a>.&nbsp; We will also be offering a Pokemon cornhole board to play on the concourse. &nbsp;All Best Flippin' events are extremely family friendly.
&nbsp;Purchase your $15 tickets in advance here through OnTreasure for anyone 13 years of age and above, kids are free. There are also "friends/family 4-packs available at a discount for $50 total. The discounted 4-pack is NOT available at the door but you can pay cash/credit/Venmo day of the event.&nbsp;
We have a policy of never passing on fees to our patrons so all tickets sold in advance will cost the same as at the door. All advance tickets will also help you "skip the line" day of the event. $4 per hour parking is available across the street at the Green Island Blvd. garage with a max for the day of $12. There are several other areas to park around the stadium if you so choose.&nbsp;Please note those 15 years of age and younger MUST be accompanied and monitored by an older chaperone.
For those paying for entry, there will be four door prize pack levels&nbsp;that will be drawn once the show is over and all entries are accounted for, door entry ends at 4 PM. We have a "Single" prize level all the way up to a "Homerun" and those prizes are all centered around some minor league players likely going through Worcester or Sox greats, like Ted Williams and David Ortiz. All door prizes are now officially listed on our poster.
We are so happy again to be back in downtown Worcester with a destination card show inside one of the best minor league ballparks in the country you are not going to want to miss!
