Yes, we are small on rainy days :(

Unfortunately, as the market does not have a structure that provides coverage, when it rains, we are smaller. A few of the vendors because of the nature of their products cannot attend on these days (The Farm Fairy and Moondance Soaps).

Forgive us on these days for being smaller, but we gotta have the rain!

Help us spread the word.
