Greetings!
Metalworks Stork
We are off to a great start!  Last weekend was beautiful and we had thousands of people come through the Market and support their local vendors.  Our new Jazz musicians, Dean and Dave, were a hit and they will definitely be back.

Come this Saturday and Sunday from 6:30am - 1:30pm for locally grown bedding plants and hanging baskets and a wonderful assortment of products you won't find anywhere else. 
Music at the Market with Oceanna Snyder
We have an entire season of entertainment lined up for you!

Oceanna snyder


Join us this weekend to hear acoustic singer and songwriter Oceanna Snyder as she makes her debut at our Market.  She has been writing songs for over 10 years and playing and performing since she was 16.  She is currently a Composition student at McNally Smith College of Music.

Maybe you've seen her at Station 4 or Eclipse before it closed last year?  She sings mostly her own work but also favorites such as First Day of My Life by Bright Eyes and Candy by Paolo Nutini.  Check out her FaceBook page!

Papa Fierro

We have a line on local Morel mushrooms and although they are just starting to peek out from under cover, we have gone to great lengths to get a good supply down here for this weekend.

Add to that smoked duck and a recipe card for you to take home and the day is just about perfect.  So look for the Papa Fierro stand by the Massage Hut and be sure to get yours!
