INDOOR FARMER’S MARKET AND LIVE MUSIC!

It's starting to feel like springtime with this warm weather, and what better reason to visit the Farmer's Market this weekend?
This weekend, there will be local artisan vendors, in addition to the Farmer's Marker vendors, upstairs on the Mezzanine.
You'll find Opa's delicious pretzels, local smoked rainbow trout and gourmet cookies! There's something for everyone, and every weekend is full of familiar favourites and new vendors!
I hope everyone enjoyed Valentine's Day! Reminder that the Market is closed on Family Day.
