Turn Around, 4805 Pacific Avenue @ 2 p.m.

Turn Around is a unique new "upcycling" boutique in the heart of Downtown Wildwood. The consignment shop features a quality collection of men's, women's, and children's fashions, as well as furniture, artwork, home ware items and collectibles.

The boutique is forging a relationship with the Cape May County Technical School and students from their school-based volunteer program. Students have the opportunity to showcase their talents by adding individual artistic flare to clothing, jewelry, and furnishings donated to the shop.

Profits from these upcycled pieces will be divided between student scholarships and moms in need throughout the community.
