Temps in the 70s?
Yes, please!

We can hardly believe this forecast, but we are absolutely here for it this week! If the heat has been keeping you away from the market this season, now is your chance! We have an amazing lineup for you this week, with several new vendors. We're bringing you everything from cotton candy to freshly baked pretzels; beautiful cut flowers to natural soaps and body butters. Artisan Kombucha was missed last week, but they'll be back for those of you who are ready for a growler refill or to try a new flavor.
The Strang Line Ramblers are on deck to keep the market vibes high with their country-bluegrass-gospel style music. This is a great week to gather your friends, pack up the whole family, and settle in for the evening. Given the forecast, we're anticipating full tables and Adirondack chairs, so you may want to grab a picnic blanket or camp chair just in case.
Reminder: Our Christmas in July adopt-a-family gift card drive ends this week. If you snagged a tag from our tree, please bring back your purchased gift card to the Information Tent. We will also be accepting cash or check donations for our turkey fund.

Marcie's Backyard Honey
It's a family affair at the honey booth! Beekeeper Josh Henry can be found at the market each week with his local honey products, often with his daughters by his side. His entrepreneurial spirit has clearly rubbed off on them, as they work hard to bring 3D-printed creations, homemade slime, and handmade jewelry to sell.
Stop by to peep their goods, and be sure to pick up some delicious local honey. We hear the hot honey they brought last week was FIRE (pun intended).
