It is hard to believe that this is the final market of the season! We welcomed new vendors, returning vendors, new shoppers, and returning shoppers. We had a great variety of foods, crafts and great music all season long. That first Friday that we don't have a market, we feel strange, but we know that come Monday, we will start planning our next season and know that in a blink of the eye, it will be Opening Day 2027.

Thank you to our sponsors and thank you to our shoppers, for the fun-filled days we shared with you this year and the generosity of our neighbors to Bienvenidos Outreach. Your donations have helped feed and clothe many in our area. You should be proud of all you did to help us accomplish our goals. We couldn't do it without you!

And to our vendors who travel from many different locations to be with us, we thank you and have planned our annual taco lunch feast just for you. Enjoy!

Notes from some of the vendors who will be with us today:
