We are coming up on the last opportunities for getting holiday shopping finished up. When you shop at the market here you are helping local creators like the sewing sisters! They are doing an amazing job of learning a skill and using that to create a product. Buying local helps in so many ways! They say every $10 spent locally equals $50 in economic development.

We so excited to be opening our Holiday Gift Market again this year! We started this market as a way for artists, creators, crafters, and small businesses to connect with local people. Giving people an opportunity to shop for unique gifts and products locally. Being able to shop locally helps those that may not be able to leave town as well as save all of us a little bit by not having to drive out of the county. Stop in on our opening day and see what we have available and sign up for a chance to win a $25 gift card to Gene's IGA.
