Waldo Market Season Ends Sept 28th!
Many thanks for the feedback & all the ideas shared through the “How Are We Doing?” Survey that 115 people responded to! The first action we are taking in response to the feedback is to extend the market season from the end of August to the end of September. Other improvements are in the works… some you may still see this season and other changes that make sense to start next season. The vendors did a survey of what they think the best aspect of the market is and unanimously we agree that YOU – our customers, neighbors & friends are the best! Thanks for your support of the market!!
