Hello Market Shoppers!
The weather should be unseasonably warm on Saturday for our next Holiday Market! Last week, we missed the Sunflower Truck Stop, because their generator broke. It is FIXED and they will be BACK on Saturday. If that isn't enough to entice you to make a trip to the market, how does music by the Hytha Family sound? And what about local maple syrup, Vera Pasta, and just picked vegetables straight from the farm? We'll have some great gifts this week too. Have you seen the wooden bracelets made by Richard Johnston or Side Stich by Ginny's aprons?
There are so many great products and producers this week and you can read their news in the section below.
If you read last week's newsletter, you probably expect Neil's Sharpening Service this week just as we did until he emailed to say that he is now coming on December 15th. Be sure to bring your dull knives NEXT week.
LATE BREAKING NEWS: The Market will now be open every Saturday from 10am to noon until December 29th (December 8, 15, 22 & 19)! You will be able to stock up on farmers' market goodies to ring in 2013- we can't think of a better way to welcome the new year!
We hope to see you at the Market!
