School's Out for Summer!

Summers were so significant when you were growing up. Counting down those last school days of the year, watching the clock, finishing the finals and turning in your text books. Remember that feeling when school was finally out for summer and you felt free? If you lived in the city you threw your gym shoes up over the telephone wires. Wherever you grew up you had your own rituals. Sleeping in a little bit, playing stickball or manhunt. Going to the lake with your family. Swimming in the


sunshine and camping out. If you were here on the east coast, then you remember tuning in your transistor radio to AM stations, or one of those first FM stations like 99X out of New York City, and hearing about the rolling blackouts in between songs by Marvin Gaye or The Eagles. You'd hear the phrase "Hazy, hot and humid" all summer. Remember the taste of real charcoal from the barbecue on the burgers, and the toasted marshmellows? The sound of Mr Softy's ice cream truck, or taking drives to Dairy Queen with your grandfather.


Block parties. Carnivals. 6 Flags. And who didn't go to the Jersey Shore? Listening to Genesis on the cassette player, winning those black mirrors with beer and band logos. Begging your mom for some foxy Iron-on t-shirts while she sipped her TAB on the boardwalk.

There's something at Scranberry Coop that will rekindle those summer memories. Whether it's a salt water taffy tin serving tray or a Led Zeppelin LP, there's a treasure here that would trigger your summer smile, the one you had when you were 11 and didn't have a care in the world.



Think about redecorating your front porch with that camp look. Or bringing some beach into your bathroom. Put together that Tiki Bar look in your finished basement, or pick up that perfect souvenir gift for someone who helped make your summers so memorable.

Who took you to all those baseball games all summer? Who'd love to know you remember?

Make some new memories with your old ones.
Come to Scranberry Coop. See for yourself.
Come remember.

It's Turtle Time!

We may not be the Real Housewives of New Jersey, but we're really here in Jersey, where you can spend lots of time redecorating your house.

We love Turtle Time! But we also celebrate many different kinds of time, too.


A time to work,









A time to move.









Time to make music,









Time to fly away.









Time to save!









Movie time.









Snack time.











Time to remember,









Time to wipe the tears,











Time to spice things up,









Time to unwind,











Time to play,











Time for a break,









A time for peace,











A time to laugh.









Christmas time.









A time for old friends.








A time for new friends,









A time to smile,
and welcome the sunshine,
and spread your wings.













And a time to come to Scranberry Coop, where you can remember, and save, and make new friends with old memories.

Make time for yourself,
spend some time at Scranberry Coop.

Having a little outing for Dad this weekend? Come to the Coop! Let him pick out his own gift this year! We've got so much treasure here, there's something that is sure to appeal to Dad.

Antique tools, vintage barware, sports memorabilia, pennants from his college days, a Kiss lunchbox, a Snagglepuss jelly jar. Fishing reels. Artwork. Matchbook cars. And much more.


We have the Farmer's Market here every Saturday this summer. And we have our snackbar inside. This is the place for all your last minute treasure hunting and gift buying. You could put together a very original and meaningful gift for the Dad in your life here today. Or you can spend time with him, bring him here to see for yourself what he sees for himself!

Don't forget - while you're shopping around Scranberry Coop check each booth for the dealer's sale policy. They change from booth to booth and from time to time. Some booths are offering 50% off or more for cash sales! Unless the item is marked firm, you can deduct an additional 50% off the ticketed price! Hey, you can't beat that!

The weather is perfect for a drive out to Andover.



From all of us to all of you Big Daddy's out there, Happy of Father's Day to you!
