Inclement Weather Policy:
The safety of our vendors, customers, and volunteers is very important to us. During the winter season, weather conditions can sometimes create unsafe travel situations. If we determine that conditions may pose a risk, the market may be canceled. While no cash refunds will be issued for weather-related cancellations, we will make every effort to provide as much advance notice as possible. We appreciate your understanding as we prioritize everyone's safety.
