A week from Sunday is the annual downtown “Winter Market”. The pre-Thanksgiving shopping event features local vendors including artists and artisans selling handcrafted items. To help peak your interest, I’m sharing the list of the sellers and what they’ll be selling.
For the third year, the event will be hosted across two locations.
The Winter Market will take place on Sunday, November 22nd from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at the Community House (28 Main Street) and Apothecary Artists (in the 11 Main Street professional building).
As always, admission to the market is free.
And, repeating something introduced last year, the following food trucks will be on site:
The dual spaces means plenty of room for vendors. According to organizers, over 20 vendors will be selling their goods. (Scroll down for the list.)
In addition, one of the organizers, Chelsea Steele of All Things Sparkley is again booking mini holiday photo shoot sessions. (To sign up for a slot, click here.)
Items for sale will include jewelry and apparel to wear to holiday parties, lotions to protect skin during the season, holiday decor, etc. Plus, obviously, you can also get in some early shopping for holiday gifts.
