Hello Market Shoppers!
It looks like the weather will be a lot cooler for tomorrow's market and we have lots of great food and goodies in store!
It is the 2nd Saturday of the month and we will welcome artists and enjoy music performed by the Ramblers.
Fruits and vegetables abound and we will see the first apples of the season!
Our own Jenny & Frank's Artisan Gelato won kudos in the Phoenixville Patch. They have some great flavors this week.
The weather is finally cool enough for John and Kira's to return to the market, so be sure to stop by their stand if you have been missing them. They do not go to markets if the predicted temperature is 95 or above so we have missed them the last 2 weeks. What they don't know is that our bridge keeps our market cool in the heat of the summer.  | | A cool 88.1 degrees! |
Take a look at what the temperature was at noon in last Saturday's heat!
See you at the Market!
