***We would like to sincerely apologize for not posting that the "Flavors of York" event was cancelled on Oct 3rd. Unfortunately we were informed too late of the change. Due to prior engagements of the restaurant owners, the event has been postponed until next Spring. We will do our complete best to keep you posted. Thank you for your interest and continued support of the Market as it works out these "technical difficulties".
