Honoring Chase Sharp: Bay Minette Swap Family Fun Day returns

Posted

Looking for something fun to do? Bay Minette Swap Family Fun Day offers a delightful opportunity for families to enjoy a day out while showing support for their local community. This event serves as a continuation of Chase Sharp's legacy, fostering community spirit and bolstering small local businesses.

Held monthly in Bay Minette, the Bay Minette Swap Family Fun Day provides families with an array of free and affordable activities. Originating in January 2021, the event was the brainchild of Chase Sharp, a local figure dedicated to uplifting families and small businesses within the community. Tragically, Sharp's life was cut short in a car accident just a week before the event's anticipated return in September 2023.

In tribute to Chase's vision, his wife has joined forces with event organizer and manager, Christie Denham, to revive the Bay Minette Swap Family Fun Day, beginning May 25. The event promises a diverse range of attractions, including a chicken swap and local business vendors offering farm animals and products for sale to interested buyers.

Moreover, attendees can look forward to an array of family-friendly activities, such as games, prizes, giveaways, crafts and opportunities to interact with adorable animals. The primary objective of the event is to infuse Bay Minette with joy and vitality while simultaneously bolstering local small businesses and contributing to the town's economic prosperity.

Bay Minette Swap is open to sponsorships from businesses who are unable to attend the event as vendors but are interested in marketing opportunities. Interested parties can reach out to Denham via email at ameggspress@gmail.com or visit the event's Facebook Group, Bay Minette Swap/Market, for further details and vendor/sponsor application forms.

The Bay Minette Swap Family Fun Day takes place from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the fourth Saturday of each month, located at 43415 Whitehouse Fork Road, Bay Minette.
