Its Library week at the Market! Festivities begin at 9:00 AM with Mr. Mark, back to charm kids with a lively story time—there’s even talk of a surprise parade making its way through. The Library’s community table will be up and ready to help folks sign up for library cards and share information about exciting programs for both kids and adults. Plus, we’ll have a free raffle for a couple of fantastic books.
This Saturday also marks our biggest vendor lineup of the season. We’re thrilled to welcome back Bali Marle and their great Indonesian hot sauces and fiery seasonings. For a full look at who’s coming, scroll down—or better yet, swing by the Market from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, rain or shine. It’s going to be a celebration of stories, spice, and community. Hope to see you there!
