SHELTON — Always a multi-faceted popular event, The Derby-Shelton Rotary announces the 38th annual Shelton Day will be held on October 2nd from 11 – 5. We are looking for the areas’ best to be available. We seek sponsors, handmade vendors, food trucks, businesses, and almost everything in between. Last year’s estimated attendance was close to 5000.

I am happy to be the Sponsorship Committee Chairperson for this year’s Shelton Day on behalf of the Derby-Shelton Rotary Club. We are looking for both established Shelton businesses as well as businesses that are new to the community to participate in Shelton Day. It’s a great opportunity to get involved in the community and also get publicity for your business,” said Pat Carey. Sponsors will receive a wide range of benefits depending on timing, such as social media exposure, t‑shirts, and signage. Sponsorships start at $100. In addition, sponsors are invited to be present during a special sponsor recognition after Mayor Lauretti’s proclamation on October 2nd at noon. For more information on sponsorships, please contact Pat at 203 – 231-0157 or Patcarey7@yahoo.com

Vendor spaces range from $40 for a non-profit table to $200 for a food truck. For more information, please email vendors@sheltonday.org. Rotary President 2022 – 2023 Betsey Doane added, The Derby-Shelton Rotary Club is excited to again host Shelton Day which will be held on Sunday, October 2. Come with family and friends to meet a diverse set of vendors, help us serve our community, and have fun!”

Proceeds from Shelton Day will benefit the Derby-Shelton Rotary Club which supports the communities of Shelton and Derby through special projects and grants to local organizations. 

I am honored to chair the 2022 Shelton Day Committee and I am grateful to Mayor Lauretti and the City of Shelton for providing Veterans Memorial Park, the ideal public space for this event.
