Longleaf Market

Suncoast News Article on Market’s Return

The Suncoast News published a nice article last week on the market’s third season, starting this Thursday, October 22. The article generated great interest from both vendors and shoppers, so we expect a good start to the season.

It mentioned site improvements that have been done since last season and extended hours and lighting being put in place. One item that didn’t get picked up in the article is that the anchor of the past two seasons, Market on Main, will also be coordinating the market with other community volunteers, like Brenda Tobey, helping out in areas like vendor recruitment, school sponsorships and kids activities.

Watch this site for more information on each of those areas and our vendors over the next couple days. See you on Thursday!

The Market Returns Oct 22!!

The market is starting again on Thursday, Oct. 22! We’ll be back every Thursday downtown Longleaf from 3-7 pm. That extra hour was in response to many requests to stay open just a bit more for folks on their way home from work.  There have been a number of parking and landscaping improvements and we expect the market to be growing once again. We have a new vendor information packet being posted this weekend or you can write to longleafmarket@gmail.com for a copy now. Check back soon for more information on the 2009-2010 market.
