Shopping @ The Hampton Classic 2007 with Maria Tennariello

Every year, vendors sell their wares in two locations at the Hampton Classic and every year I am there, shopping! This year in the Boutique Garden, adjacent to the Food Court and at Stable Row, which is near the main stabling area, you will find vendors featuring everything from antiques to fine art, souvenirs to saddles, gifts and housewares to fashions and accessories. Shopping at the Hampton Classic offers some of the best shopping of the year...wear cool and comfy clothing and shoes, bring along a sunhat or parasol, a spray bottle with water to cool off with and off you go, for the shopping experience of a lifetime.
