ATTENTION VENDORS!  For Winter, please plan to start set up no earlier than 7:30am.  A reminder NOT to drive across the center grass, unless given permission by management.  Also a SAFETY REMINDER: vendors must NOT move their vehicles until 1pm.  This is so we can safely clear out children first.  In an emergency, come to the Info booth.  For this Sunday, Info will be located on the center grass. 

OUR HOLIDAY MARKET is set for the first Sunday in December, DECEMBER 7th.  A reminder that our HOURS CHANGE FOR THIS ONE DAY ONLY: 11am to 2pm to accommodate Santa’s schedule.  Vendor Market fees are due in advance. Look for a hot chocolate bar, along with smores and chestnuts. Dozens of food vendors, jewelers, crafters and farmers have already signed up to participate.  You’ll be able to shop 'til you drop for one of a kind, handmade items. And we’ll keep you warm!
