And that’s a wrap! Signs were picked up early this morning, and we’re already looking ahead to next year.

Thank you to everyone who came out, shopped, supported our vendors, and helped make the day such a success. It was a wonderful weekend because of all of you!

A very special and heartfelt thank you to the Sparta DPW for everything you do behind the scenes. We truly appreciate all of your hard work, dedication, and everything you do to keep things running smoothly.

See you next year! ❤️

The worse part of setting up at vendor markets- all the weight we have to load for our tents so they don’t blow away! Each of these plates are 22lbs 😬 Remember vendors, you must have at least 40lbs per leg!! It’s going to be a little breezy Friday night!
