** Psychedelic 70’s Sunday. We’re waxing nostalgic and taking a trip down Memory Lane with a 70’s theme day. The market will be decorated with as many funky decorations as we can come up with, and a number of our vendors may “dress for the occasion” by wearing 70’s clothing. We’ll have some 70’s music playing over the P.A. system, too. Join us for a fun day as we celebrate the 70’s in the market aisles.
♦ Oct. 29
** Artist Demo (12-3pm): Apothekitchen’s Luke Siemienkiewicz will make healthy caramel apples. Location: Booth 1. Visit Luke’s Etsy site to see samples of his products.
** Halloween at the Market. Bring the kids to stroll through the aisles in their favorite Halloween costumes — and get a head start on your holiday shopping while you’re there. Many of our artisans join the Halloween fun by dressing in costume. Which artist has the best costume? You decide. We’ll have Halloween candy and treats for the kids at our hospitality table.
NOVEMBER
♦ Nov. 12
** Kerrytown Open House. Last year’s Open House event drew a great crowd at the Market, and our raffle was a huge hit. So we’re doing it again this year! Our artists and crafters donate one of their handmade creations to be raffled off (free!) during Market hours. Buy something from one of our vendors and get a raffle ticket. Then turn in your ticket at the Information table to try your luck at winning one of the cool items made by our artisans. Good luck!
