  • Veach’s Block Party A Blast!
May 26, 2011

Children of all ages turned out for a sunny day of games and fun in front of the oldest toy store in town- Veach’s.  From riding toys to crafts and face paints there was something for everyone and best of all it was free!

A store whose history is etched in the memories of our own childhoods, Veach’s has brought smiles to many faces over the decades.  Now priding themselves in carrying quality, educational and creativity inducing toys as their central focus, Veach’s remains one of the oldest stores under the same family ownership in Wayne County.

Mr Veach- longtime owner of Veach’s also got into the play with children, by demonstrating  balancing toy.  Forever a kid at heart, he still enjoys bringing joy to children by providing fun activities such as this recent block party.

Children also experienced riding toys which they powered themselves, old fashioned toys like hula hoops, and newer inventions such as the cement molds they used to create masterpieces.

Probably the most popular area was one where different gadgets propelled things into the air, again using the power of the child.  Children spent a good amount of time at the ball toss as well.
