The First Day of the Market for 2009 was...

a success!!! How exciting to see so many new vendors join us and to see our wonderful vendors from last season as well! We had gorgeous Spring weather and a very nice turnout of support from friends and neighbors. The Market will be here every Saturday from 8am to Noon we look forward to seeing you there as a vendor or supporter. We can all have a share in making this the best season ever!

The Market is a great way to make a few extra dollars by selling your fruits and vegetables from your own garden and also an excellent way to save money by shopping for homegrown produce, baked goods, and great handcrafted gifts. When we support our local growers and crafters we keep the dollars in our community and in turn that helps our families as well. It's a win, win for all who participate!

If you would like to set up with us please contact Signa Curry 704-299-2322, email signamarie@gmail.com, or Jim Dickerson 803-684-4225, it's easy and FREE!!
