Yes, the Downtown Farmers Market is definitely on for Saturday, July 17.
The Brickyard BBQ will be in our "regular" location, so we will shift into 9th Street.
The street is closed for the BBQ, and we will set up right in front of the Clabber Bake Shop and Hulman & Company Buildings.
The Brickyard BBQ features Union Hospital Fitness Center's 5k Run at 8am, which will share the street with us - but we will have it all cordoned off and staffed to keep vendors, shoppers, and runners separate and safe. It will be fun to have them pass by, and we look forward to some new visitors who are part of the BBQ festivities.
There is also a Gladiator Challenge and strong-man competition starting at 10 am - we had some local competitors give a pre-view at last week's market.
We'll have a couple new vendors again this week - and Joe Butcher just signed on to start in August with his "Dog Father" hot-dog stand, where he will also be selling local lamb-bratwurst from Royer Farm Fresh Meats - who have frozen brats for you to take home!
See us at 9th & Cherry Streets in the Clabber Girl Festival Marketplace.
Thank you to our great sponsors:

R.A.I.N. on Saturday morning
You're likely to see a lot of cyclists riding through town between 7 and 8am Saturday morning...
RAIN (Ride Across Indiana) is an annual ride across the State of Indiana sponsored by the Bloomington Bicycle Club. Its 160-mile length runs
mostly on the Historic National Road: Route 40, starting near Terre Haute at the Illinois border and
traveling east to the Ohio border.
The route will pass through downtown Terre Haute in a pretty compact group before the riders begin to spread out.
Give them a cheer and a friendly wave!
