Champaign, OH:  The Market Is Now Open

Just a short and sweet market opening, tonight.

Your market manager is exhausted beyond exhaustion. It’s been a crazy 6 weeks of all things holiday, all things fast paced in the life of a downtown board member, a chair of Holiday Promotions, Santa Land, and the Holiday Gala. On top of that, all of you who have seen me, this past week, have seen my injury. On top of all this, there is my crazy baking schedule…

So, with this, I thank you all for this past week’s market, and making it a huge market!! I look forward to seeing you at this week’s market, AND…please remember…this coming week will be our last until after the holidays!!

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
