9:40 a.m. weโ€™re getting ready for you. Be have hot beverages. Weโ€™ve unzipped the catnip mice from their ziplock baggies & restocked the shelves!

7:15 p.m. And the market’s done. This venue impressed us and was well organized. The squads of enthusiastic grade 8 students who helped set up AND help vendors take kit apart were a welcomed sight. The Terms Of Service were reasonable. Any drama on the sales floor was discreetly handled. The market closed at 5 p.m. and tear-down, while frantic, was civilized. We’ve already submitted our paperwork for 2027.
