Highlands Marketplace
Written By: Debbie Grossman | Issue: 2015/05 - May
Now that the April showers have passed it’s time to get out and enjoy what Highlands has to offer. What could be better than walking through the park, picking out fresh produce and some local baked bread for the weekend? You will be able to enjoy a fresh cup of coffee, smoothie, or local baked goods while deciding on that perfect handmade gift to buy a friend.
Most Saturdays from May through October, the Highlands Marketplace will be held in the newly renovated Kelsey Hutchinson Park.
The park renovation is a bit behind schedule so the Marketplace will be held on the adjacent property that has recently been purchased by the park coalition.
The goal of this market is to allow local farmers, gardeners, growers, bakers, cooks, crafters and artists the opportunity to earn extra income by selling locally produced products. In addition, the market aims to provide residents and visitors of Highlands the opportunity to buy fresh local produce, food and products at a fair market price.
The plan is to have local entertainment every week along with incredible handmade / homegrown products. There will be food and beverages available to purchase along with organic produce, locally made candles, hand woven scarves, handmade furniture and lots more.
The Cashiers Highlands Humane Society will join the festivities throughout the season for stop and adopt opportunities.
The market has been organized and is being run by a committee. They are asking folks that would like to be vendors to please stop by Fressers Courtyard Café or Town Hall to pick up a copy of the rules and regulations along with an application. Or you can email the committee at [email protected] and someone will send one to you.
Shoppers can find updates and information by liking Highlands Marketplace on Facebook.
For the 2015 Market season, the dates and hours of operation are as follows:
Most Saturdays May through October from 8:00 A.M. until 2:00 P.M. November hours will be from 9:00 A.M. until 2:00 P.M. (weather permitting) Tell your friends and head to the park!!
