Summer Isn’t Over Yet

Oh, August: the last wisps of summer delight us and bring us a feeling of melancholy all the same. We're not ready to talk about fall being just around the corner, so let's keep the focus on all the exciting things happening at the Market in these last few weeks of hot summer days, shall we?   Roller skating is still ongoing and we're so happy to see a great turnout each week, our vendors are busy with exciting renovations and fresh seasonal collections, and we've got FREE tote bags to give away all summer long. Read through this week's newsletter for more info!

Big things are happening at Chris’ Country Cuts! 🎉

Their expansion is underway, bringing even more deliciousness to the Market! Get ready for a full line of breads, weekly scone deliveries, packaged soups, convenient frozen meals and so much more 👀🥖🥣

The best part? They’re still open during renovations, so stop by, say hi and get a sneak peek at what’s coming! We’ve got a feature video on our social media too, so be sure to scroll through or click here so you can hear all about these exciting updates straight from Chris himself!
