Closed Christmas Day

Published on December 19, 2020 by Jolenemac33

Happy holidays everyone. All of our vendors are working hard and we have had quite a few people wandering around the market picking up cool and unusual gifts, new, used, handcrafted and antique gifts too. Come on by and see what you can find and get your holiday shopping done.

Remember mailing out gifts date is over if you want your packages to be delivered by Thursday. We have received a couple of emails from the U.S. Postal Service stating that they are behind with their deliveries. Which is very sad indeed.

The market itself will be closed on Christmas Day, Friday, December 25, 2020 but will reopen the following day to finish out the weekend. Come on down and get some exercise, spend some of that Christmas money or just grab some snacks and say, hi, to all the vendors and your neighbors as well.

We want to welcome all the new vendors to the market and wish them luck over the next few months. Also, please drop by and say, Hi! to the Riggs Family booth called TilGone on the corner of the Yellow and Red Rows. Got Free Range Eggs, purchased a new donut maker, and will be practicing with that for the next couple of days. YUMMY! Fresh donuts once again.

PLEASE CHECK WITH EACH VENDOR TO ENSURE THEY WILL BE OPENED NEXT WEEKEND. Hopefully, most of our regular vendors will post announcements on the public market Facebook page with the holiday days and hours over the next two weekends.

BE SAFE OUT THERE!

Where Did the Sun Go

Published on December 12, 2020December 12, 2020 by Jolenemac33

‘Heavens to Betsy’ where did the dang sun go? It was supposed to be mostly sunny today or at least I thought that was what the weather channel had listed a couple of days ago. Make sure you dress in layers today. It is just a little bit chilly out here and with no sun the concrete hallways or a bit damp. BUT our vendors are here and working hard and you really just never know what you are going to find in any of the rows these days.

Post Turkey Day WrapUp

Published on November 28, 2020November 28, 2020 by Jolenemac33

I don’t know about you but I am still a little bit stuffed from all the food my daughter served yesterday. We were a small gathering but there was love, laughter, and family news updates happening all the time we were able to spend together. Not our usual big family holiday but still nice all the same. All the vendors, employees, and owners of the market hope you and yours had a wonderful if quiet holiday and will continue to keep safe as you travel here and there. The market is opened today and we hope to see all of our regular customers and any new ones that want to drop by sometime this Black Friday Weekend of specials and great stuff for sale. You can pick up a much-needed item for yourself or grab yourself a couple of cool, unusual, or inventive little gifts. Please do shop early if you can because a lot of us are having to ship this year. Don’t want a mad rush between December 10-15th.

Vendor Updates

Toni’s Kitchen was featured in a small article on Channel 20 out of Gainesville on Thanksgiving Day. There is even a short video included. Toni wanted to thank Tammy from Fat Goose Auction, Flo from Flo’s Alterations, and Cindy at SaveALot who volunteered their time helping out preparing, serving, and even donating supplies. For those hankering from some desserts, she has plenty left over including Banana Pudding, Chocolate Cake, Apple Strudel, and various kinds of pies too. This weekend she will be creating specials with leftover turkey and ham.

Oh Yea Fall Weather

Published on October 17, 2020 by Jolenemac33

It is so nice when the weather turns a bit cooler in the mornings and evenings. Today is just enough to be able to sit outside in the sun and truly enjoy a little warmth. Hey! Why not get your picture taken sitting on the big Teddy Bear in our front entrance. And you can slide through our haunted house on the green row just for fun. There are so many things to do during October and, generally, the weather is trying to cooperate so we can all enjoy the outdoors this weekend. Come on down and grab some fresh fruits, veggies, local honey, and even fresh seafood. Of course, you can find gently used items as well as antiques all around the market and even some pretty inventive handcrafted items as well.

For the upcoming fun holiday, we put together a little video promo for the market and weather king sheds. Enjoy! And GET OUTSIDE this weekend…
