What a great month!

| Third Street Market Makes the Denver Post
Mention in the Travel Section |

Our repeated press releases are paying off! The Denver Post ran the announcement about the Third Street Market open-air artisans market in Historic Lake City. There are several new vendors this year. The Market is intended to bring people to the downtown area - where they can check out the wares, shop in the retail businesses, drink coffee or eat lunch. Stop by and say hello - on Saturdays (10 am to 2 pm) and on Wednesdays (12 noon to 2 pm), an optional day that vendors are allowed to set up. |
