Saturday June 16th

It was a damp day at the market, but it did not affect the high spirits of the vendors and many visitors at today's market.

The Pie Lady (Maureen Haynes) was back from vaction and sold out before noon! 

Jaggi (BST Fruit) and his Dad made the trek up the hill from Osoyoos to sell their fresh produce - bringing the first cherries of the year and beans, and corn and peppers and tomatos and cabbages and cucumbers and zuchinnis!

Teri Lyon's bread and butter tarts was featured at the Food Share tent, as well his incredible wooden toys were for sale. I wish I had a grand daughter I could get that doll high chair for!

John Fair and his Travelling Bookstore have the best alarm clocks! They look like a stikes of dynamite wirred to a clock! And as always, Beary Good Stuff sold out of Blueberry Garlic Jelly and
Strawberry Jalapeno Barbeque Sauce!

Market Meals - Dale Pownall really has a hot with his Waffles! You just have to try them!

Next week should be a fabulous market! See you there!

Dogs and the Market

We know you love your dog and we love your dog too, but because of heath regulations, your dog cannot visit the market.

Your dog can be walked around the perimeter of the Market. There is green space to the north of the Market, or your can relax with your dog on the east side of Rags, Relics and Rutabagas. Just behind Rags, Relics and Rutabaga and just East of the market there are tall trees and lots of shade. If you want a doggie sitter while you visit the market, visit Beary Good Stuff (PlaySafe Dogs) and we will stay with your dog while you wander the market or have a bite to eat at Market Meals.
