People attending the marketplace will be expected to wear face coverings and try to maintain social distancing.
The Huttleston Marketplace has had a policy of not accepting too many vendors selling similar items. As the marketplace gets larger, there is increasing flexibility, particularly with some vendors not being here every week.
Categories for vendors are: arts, crafts, photography, upcycled decor and accessories (crafts must be handmade.); antiques, vintage collectibles, used books; whole fresh locally grown farm produce, plants (We are a MDAR certified farmers market, allowing certified farm vendors to accept WIC and Senior FMNP coupons.); local authors; prepared food
Although only eight food vendors were here on 6/6, a good crowd was spending, according to some vendors.
Cyd Ryle of Cyd’s Creative Kitchen said she sold just about everything.
“Business was pretty good,” she said.
