Town Readies for Holiday Market

The time to stock up on local handmade crafts and gourmet goods is just around the corner as the 2011 Mount Pleasant Holiday Market and Craft Show is slated for Saturday, December 10 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Farmers Market Pavilion on Coleman Boulevard and Simmons Street.

“The Mount Pleasant Holiday Market & Craft Show is at the heart of our town’s festivities,” said Tracy Richter, market manager. “It provides the perfect opportunity for customers to purchase a wide variety of original pieces from local talents. As always, admission and parking are free and we welcome all residents and visitors to this unique shopping opportunity.

This annual event offers a combination of locally grown fresh produce, baked goods, hot food and homemade preserves. Handcrafted gifts by local artisans will include Christmas ornaments, glass work, whimsical holiday crafts, and original art by locally recognized potters, painters and photographers.

Live entertainment with a holiday twist will kindle the holiday spirit throughout the market. Free children’s activities will include face painting and an inflatable, plus a chance to visit with Santa Claus (parents, bring your cameras!)

“The Holiday Market is an afternoon of seasonal fun that is sure to get everyone in the spirit,” said Nicole Harvey, special events planner.
