The delivery unit will be at Cape Art Mart, 21 Plaza Way, which serves as an adoption center for Patch Kids. Nancy Reppen of Cape Art Mart has been an adoption agent for the hand-stitched, soft-sculptured dolls from the Cleveland, Ga., Cabbage Patch, for more than five years.
The Cabbage Patch Kids phenomena, developed by artist Xavier Roberts in 1977, became the rage of the toy world in 1978 after being discovered at an arts and crafts fair in Georgia in 1977.
The dolls are made by hand at the Babyland General Hospital in Cleveland.
