Craft Festival and Food Drive: This Saturday, Nov. 7

The market's Fall Craft Festival and Thanksgiving Food Drive will be held this Saturday, Nov. 7, from 9 am-1 pm! Please note these hours are different than typical market hours! The farmers' market and the craft festival will open at 9 am this weekend. (Nov. 14 and Nov. 21, market hours will be 9 am-12 pm.)

More than 40 local artists and crafters will join us with their unique handcrafted items. Come see the fruits of their talent and start your holiday shopping!

The market is also hosting a Thanksgiving Food Drive on Saturday. Please bring non-perishable foods and canned goods to the Info. Tent for donation to the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle. Requests for food assistance are up significantly this year with so many families in our area facing economic difficulties. Please share your Thanksgiving spirit by participating in this food drive.

Craft Festival Preview
In addition to our regular market vendors, our guest crafters and artists will have a wonderful variety of products available. Find the perfect hostess gift for Thanksgiving or a holiday get-together, teacher's gifts, stocking stuffers or a little something for yourself.
Here's a peek at some of the offerings at the festival: pottery, jewelry of various styles and techniques, baskets, natural soaps and lotions, gourmet toppings, photography and art, wooden toys and crafts, baby and kids' gifts, ornaments, cards and more!
