Back by popular demand! It’s time to celebrate spring and new beginnings.
This year’s markets will take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays from May 25 through Oct. 12. The location for both markets will be on Pleasant Street.
All items sold at the farmers market will be locally grown or made by hand.
Items sold at the flea markets must be approved in advance. Due to insurance concerns, there will be no sales of alcohol, drugs, fireworks or weapons. Indecent or disrespectful items are not welcomed. Also, no used mattresses or flammable products.
All vendors are welcome to apply. Applications areavailable at the Ontario Public Library. Pre-payment will ensure a reserved space at the markets and will help topay advertising. Cost for vending all 21 weeks is $80 and due by May 1, or vendors can pay $5 for each market attended.
Each space will be 10-by-10 feet and assigned by the market manager. Vendors are responsible to supply their own tables, chairs, etc. Setup will begin at 7 a.m.
