Forecast for SAT JUL 06

There’s a chance we’ll see our first wet Market of the 2019 season, but so far we’ve been lucky to “beat the forecast” for anything less than 50% likelihood of precipitation.

LOST BREAD’S GENEROUS SAMPLING TECHNIQUE

Revolution Roasters handles the fresh-roasted beverages, while El Sitio provides fantastic Ecuadoran specialties including empanadas and Pan de Yuca (cassava cheese bread treats). Villa Barone features familiar favorite sauces, tasty zeppolis, sometimes their own fresh mozzarella. Sara’s Produce by special arrangement is the one source for produce NOT grown in New Jersey. Lost Bread Co. of Philadelphia has taken up the familiar bakery space.

KITTENS FROM SAINT FRANCIS PEACEFUL PAUSE

IN THE DOG TENT

Saint Francis Peaceful Pause Marie Dempsey provides foster care for cats and kittens in need of permanent homes. Peaceful Pause refers to that time between rescue and the uniting of needy animals with their forever homes. This week Marie will staff the Dog Tent for us and distribute the official Market Leash to dog owners new to the Market.


Live Music on Two Stages!
SAT JUL 06

LIVE MUSIC ON TWO STAGES FROM 9AM

Shannon Barry

BARRY HOLLANDER self-described jive turkey (to us he’s just a guitar phenomenon) Barry Hollander will pick and strum his way through an eclectic repertoire, perhaps with a guest on bass, on the west stage starting at 9am.

SHANNON MAGILL in the Collingswood Music tent. Shannon’s sultry contralto is just as compelling on an Amy Winehouse torch song as it is honoring popular tunes from the 40s and 50s.

Small Bills 

Many of you know, but for those of you who don’t, I carry small bills for vendors who run out of singles during the Market day.

VENDOR PARKING PERMITS

It’s good business to save the best parking spaces for SHOPPERS! Most visitors will tell you it’s tough to find parking at the Market. We make things worse by parking our own vehicles in spaces that could be used and re-used many times by shoppers. Please encourage your table crew to park for free in the Lumberyard Parking Garage (just across Collings Avenue from the west entrance). There are plenty of spaces inside, and the walk back to the Market takes 3 minutes.


Flexible Site Plan

Changes will continue to occur throughout the season as vendors come and go and as we learn more about how neighbors interact. I remind you no spaces are ever guaranteed and require your cooperation if I have to move your location any given week.
