Papa Fierro's Last Weekend at the Market!
Papa Fierro

Papa Fierro's original Market specialties have been tempting us for two summers now, but alas all good things must come to an end.  Papa Fierro is moving on to other adventures.

You can say farewell and get your last fill of his wonderful pico de gallo this weekend on the north side of the Market at stall 403.  Adieu...
Vendor Spotlight
Lungta Imports


Lungta Imports
owners Tashi and Dee bring you the absolute best handmade clothing and accessories from Nepal and India.  They personally spend two to three months there in the wintertime visiting the different areas and choosing just the right items to bring back for the Market.  Always colorful and the latest style, you can expect only the best from Lungta Imports!


Sport Sales

 

Weekend warriors Weekend jocks.   Weekend "anything" active will eventually wear on your body ~ it can only take so much!  That's where Sport Sales with Incrediwear can help give you a feeling of wellness.  The natural properties of bamboo cause an internal vibration of the cells which results in increased blood flow, and therefore more oxygen to the tissues.  They're the most comfortable sock you'll ever own, even if you have no problems at all.  And the braces?  Just ask Bill and David.  

 Ellen Diamond

 

The Market just wouldn't be the same without the smiling face of Ellen Diamond surrounded by her many finds and creations.  She has an eclectic mix of purses and tops sometimes, too, but she is known for her beautiful jewelry.  And for always being dressed 'just so'.  Miss Ellie, as her grand kids call her, always has time for a chat and an encouraging word.  She's the real deal and we're sure glad she's with us.  :o)  

Music at the Market with Sonny Ray

We have an entire season of entertainment lined up for you!

 

Sonny Ray 

Sonny Ray is back for another session of easy listening music here at the Annex.  Sonny has been performing live at clubs and parties from Miami to Minnetonka.  His many years of experience performing with bands has enabled him to play all the instruments you hear on his backing tracks.......hence the one man band.    

 

Sonny now resides in the Minneapolis area performing for private parties, corporate events, clubs, etc.  For dates, bookings, and pricing - e-mail  sonnyray@comcast.net or call 651-437-6069
