Saturday Market Newsletter October 26
Last Market Day-Reflections
Thank you Middle TN for a terrific 2024 Market Season.
We started the season with record-breaking crowds in May, and you all have not let us down for the last six months of the Saturday Market. On behalf of our vendors, sponsors, musicians, and community groups at the market, thank you for believing in the value of a local farmers' market.
So many of you have made a market trip a part of your Saturdays, and we have looked forward to saying hello and chatting with you on Saturday mornings. Our vendors know you and look forward to seeing their "regular customers." It's also a boost when they meet new customers and then see them return--happy with what they bought and ready to try more new products.
Most of all, on behalf of Main Street Murfreesboro and the Saturday Market, I want to thank all of you for strengthening our community, appreciating our downtown, and supporting local farmers, growers, makers, and producers who rely on the market to get their products to customers. We will update you on where you can buy from our vendors in the off-season through Facebook and our newsletter. We are already planning our 2025 Season.
See you on the square Saturday morning from 8-noon.
