Market Day launches May 30

Farmer’s market die-hards and thrift-conscious art lovers are invited to a new kind of market debuting May 30.

We’re hosting a casual, monthly bazaar for art, vintage, found items and handmade goods. Dubbed “Market Day” artists and vendors are encouraged to look beyond what they traditionally retail and bring a fun and inexpensive mix of items.

There will be dozens of artists and craftsters selling their wares in addition to thrift furniture items from Racoon Forks Trading Company and Mike Kinter.

Like a farmer’s market, patrons are encouraged to bring cash and shopping bags, though some individual vendors may accept credit cards and provide bags and packaging for larger items.

Market Day is the last Saturday of every month May 30 through September 26 with special dates in October and November. It will run from 9am-2pm. Market Day is located in the 120 year old Market Building at 118 SE 4th Street.

    I sell wooden roses (I do not make the roses) but I do make bouquets out of them or if the customer just wants to purchases them and put them in their own vase we do that too.
    I was wondering if I would be allowed to sell them at your market days. Please get back to me.

    Since I can’t possibly do all the projects I have gathered fun findings for… I will try this new venue in hopes others will be inspired and put them to use! Lamp parts, broken pottery, wood of all shapes and sizes, wire, old frames, odd metal parts, old glass, and who knows what else!
