Thank you for checking with us. The COVID-19 Pandemic will again disrupt the 2021 market season. We ALL need to follow Federal, State, and Local guidelines to get through this serious crisis. Outdoor markets are NOT necessarily safer than visiting a local grocery and everyone should assess their personal situation and responsibilities for their particular family and behave and act accordingly. Please check back periodically as this information will hopefully change.

If we can locate an affordable location and put together a late starting 2021 market safely, we will.

Our Website is growing and we now have "For Vendors" & Newsletter Signup Pages as well as a Gallery of recent Market Photos.

Keep checking back - we will soon have a "Meet our Vendor Page" up and will be adding to it throughout the year.

DUE TO COVID-19, THE 2021 SEASON DATES AND LOCATION ARE ON HOLD.
