We had lots of new and exciting goods at the market last Saturday! Joining us for the first time this summer was Grungy Goods, CHMA, Tori's Twisted Knots, and The Dainty Pickle Bakery. Saturday mornings are a great time to support your local businesses and catch up with your neighbours - hopefully we will see you there next week at the Bill Johnstone Memorial Park from 9am-12pm!
