Due to the current rise in Covid cases in our area we are STRONGLY RECOMMENDING that masks be worn at the peak hours of the Market. We would hate to have to close down and even though we are outdoors, well the crowd has been amazing and we'd love for that to continue, but that does mean that it is very difficult to maintain a 6 foot distancing.

Our vendors and staff will be wearing masks during peak times while dealing with customers. We ask that you consider that also.

At this time we will not enforce it but do hope that you will be smart and follow guidelines.

NOT VAXED... MASK! PLEASE!

Stay safe.... we can and we will beat this thing!"
