Annual Events Archives

Last weekend was all about pinball. This weekend… its all about bocce. The Heinz History Center hosts the 2nd Annual Bocce Tournament and celebration of all things italian. The tournament raised funds for Italian American Endowed Fund. The history center will be setting up 2 bocce courts in the parking lots at the corner of Smallman and 12th Street.

There will be italian food and music from Pure Gold, Vito DiSalvo & Daniella Pasquini and Jimmy Sapienza’s Five Guys Named Moe. You can read more about the Bocce Tournament in the Post-Gazette and the Tribune Review.

I wanted to take a second to point out two of the vendors who will be at Hand(made) in marriage – both of these have run successful Kickstarter projects to raise money to get things started here in Pittsburgh. How cool that both of these businesses started with community support.

Ker-bloom Letterpress – check out the Kickstarter project Letterpress House
Wear The Shift – makes custom dresses here in Pittsburgh – check out their Kickstarter project here.

Here is a sneak peak of some of the items you might find at Hand(made) in Marriage from the vendors who also have shops on Etsy.
