A bittersweet farewell (for now)!
Join us WEDNESDAY in the Terwillegar Recreation Center Parking Lot from 4:30-7:30
Please join us for our final market of the season! This week will be the perfect market to stroll the market for the last time in 2014, buy your Thanksgiving groceries, and enjoy a warm dinner from a food truck. Be sure to stop by the info tent to say goodbye (for now!) to our wonderful volunteers, board members, and market manager. We would like to take the time to thank each and every one of you for supporting our market this season. Without you, it would not be such a success!

As a thank you for completing the survey, you will have the opportunity to enter a draw to win $30 in SWEFM Market Bucks! Please complete the survey here.
