Hello again! We had a great weekend here at the City Market during the week ending May 23rd, 2010. The market was very full both days with vendors and we had the triumphant return of produce as well after a long tough winter. It was especially nice to see all the vendors and customers back after many weeks of rainy weather as well. On Saturday there were vendors selling everything from breakfast items, hand crafted butterfly costumes for kids to college decorated items and sweets. Pictures of this beautiful weekend can be found to the left hand side.
We also had a very busy Community Yard Sale (Sunday) early this season. We were already up to two sheds being used for the Farmers' Market and 60 spaces for the Yard Sale. With only a few more available, we have decided that each person may only get two spaces at a time in order to be fair to everyone. Next weekend should be even busier due to the addition of a K.C. Vintage Thunderbirds Club.
We are also looking forward to a great holiday weekend ahead and the festive weekend after that as well. For the Memorial Day weekend, there will be side-walk sales as well as special store and Farmers' Market sales. Those sales were announced via e-blast and Facebook. For the weekend of June 4-6, there are a lot of activities both here at the City Market and in the River Market / downtown area as a whole. For starters, as previously mentioned, we have the first Buzz Under the Stars show going on Friday, June 4th with American Bang, Manchester Orchestra, Coheed & Cambria, American Bang and Weezer. Tickets are still available via Ticketmaster or by going to The Midland up until the day of the show. The show starts at 6:00 pm and tickets are $35.00. Visit our website for more information. Then that next day we have our Saucy Salad Day from 9-2. It will have kids activities and a salad contest. Check our website for details.
In the general area, the Gay Pride Festival was moved down to Richard Berkley Park for the entire week and weekend of the 6th. The Port Authority and Mark Funkhouser made this announcement on the 21st. There will be a little higher traffic on that Saturday and Sunday but otherwise the additional influx of people should not impact the concert or other events. Another event in the area is The Urban Tour. This year it will take place June 5th and 6th. It is once again a time for people to come down to the Crossroads, Downtown and River Market area and see why people really do like living in this area. Visit the Downtown Council website for more information.
That is it for now and we will see you at the City Market!
