We are getting so excited about our SUPER SATURDAY event. Along with our regular faithful vendors, we will have some local guest vendors. This will add a lot of variety to what is offered at the market on a regular Saturday. The guest vendors will be scattered around the market building and under the big white tent in front of the market. We will even have a Carolina Classics Cruisers car show. Come out and support our vendors and our guests and visit our Annex Open House between 9:30 and 2. You will be treated to a few holiday goodies.

SAVE SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19THAND CELEBRATE WITH US ON SUPER SATURDAY

The day has finally arrived for those of you who have asked the question, "What in the world is going on in that RED building next to the Farmers Market?" Although there is a little more tweaking to do, we decided that it was time to unveil the progress that has been made and to answer all your questions about this building and its' proposed usage AND how it has been paid for !SO, visit each of our SUPER SATURDAY vendors at the market, then wander over to the Annex for an Open House with light seasonal snacks, between 9:30 and 2.

Your questions will be answered, and you will be surprised and delighted at what you see!

Message from Ruth We are raising money to support students' educational study abroad for Spring Break 2023. Students will be immersed in the culture and traditions of Italy as they explore Rome, Florence, Venice, and the island of Murano. They will be learning as they travel and explore each city. They will learn to navigate a country whose language they don't know. They will have to learn how to order off a menu using the Italian lira or the European Euro. All students will learn how to navigate a city, see the museums that house the amazing art from the Renaissance period. They will explore the Vatican City, (which has its own government), they will watch how the old tradition of glass blowing is still alive in Murano, and they will take a cooking class in Florence. The experiences of a lifetime await each traveler and we are thrilled to help them achieve this goal.

Market open between 8:00 am and 2:00 pm Tuesday and Saturday
