Great fresh and local items that you may pre-order and/or shop the day of the market. All our vendors sell exclusively gluten-free products, including baked goods. The Market will be open again on March 11th and April 8th.
On Friday, February 12th, donate at least $15 to the animals at SafeHaven, and the people will make a portrait drawing of your pet. They have a pool of staff and volunteers standing by, eager to turn your animal into a timeless work of art (or at least make you laugh). You might get one of their extremely talented artists, but to be honest…you’ll probably get someone who can’t draw their way out of a paper bag. They admit that they are much better at caring for pets than drawing them! Visit the fundraiser page here Pet Drawing
