Worries about inclement weather were dispelled as the clock neared 3:45 PM, when the light rain finally gave way to clear skies. This week, we were thrilled to welcome new vendors to our market. The Honey Hole treated visitors to a cornucopia of pumpkins, with a wide range of sizes, shapes, and hues, along with a collection of decorative gourds. Another newcomer, L Woodworking, wowed market-goers with their stunning wooden creations, with the spirit of the season. The good news is they’ll be back next week, so be sure not to miss their unique offerings.
Amidst this exciting influx of new faces, our market maintained its signature blend of farm-fresh produce, delectable honey, jams, jellies, and a variety of crafted treasures. Lemon Lime Family Time made sure everyone was prepped for pumpkin painting with their convenient kits, which will once again be available next week, along with other engaging activities.
As we approach the grand finale of our regular market season, we’re gearing up for a spectacular send-off. Join us on October 25th for an evening filled with family-friendly activities that will delight the kids, while adults can indulge in some fantastic shopping opportunities. But that’s not all—stay tuned for the exciting details about our upcoming Christmas Market on December 2nd, taking place in the lower level of the Fishing River Market building. For your convenience, parking and access to the market will be located behind the building in the Hitch Lot.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to our dedicated shoppers and vendors who took the time to complete our survey. We’ve carefully reviewed your feedback and are already working on plans to enhance the market experience for the upcoming season. In the coming weeks, we’ll also be unveiling some exciting news, so keep an eye out for updates.
Rain or shine, we can’t wait to see you all on October 25th at the market, as we bid farewell to our regular season with a fantastic celebration!
