The WS Farmer’s Market has a new home for 2017.
The weekly event for local food enthusiasts will be set up in the parking lot of the Native Friendship Centre (NFC) on 3rd Avenue instead of at the Pine Centre Mall.
“They were going in a different direction; they’ve got a new manager, a new leasing manager,” says Maria Pennock, former president of the market. “So they said that they just weren’t available and they weren’t able to accommodate us this year.”
She says NFC staff have been very gracious hosts and the market organizers were humbled by their willingness to showcase local vendors and growers.return
“We actually went to them! We had a list of where we thought we would go and that was the top spot, so we’re really excited and so are they, which is great.”
The lot had 60 stands last year and they’re still seeking vendors as well as entertainers and musicians for the 2017 season. Inquiries can be made via their Facebook page.
The Farmer’s Market will open on its regular schedule, 8:30AM to 2PM on the first Saturday of May.
