The countdown begins! There are only five weeks until the market starts.  We have some favorites returning, and some new vendors that are sure to please everyone.  During the next few weeks we will be profiling some of our vendors, so the shoppers can get a glimpse of what's to come.  We are also planning a Chelmsford Art Appreciation Day (tentatively scheduled for November 17th).  We will have local artists' work on display (and for sale) - details will follow within the next few weeks. Correction: The date for the Art Appreciation Day will be December 15th.

Another Season!

I hope everyone has been enjoying the summer markets - especially Chelmsford's Summer Market on the Chelmsford Common every Thursday from 2:00 - 6:00.  The Chelmsford Agway Winter Market vendor application is finally completed.  Click on the link on the right side of this page to download a copy.  I am also looking for musical talent to entertain the shoppers.  We have a sound system available, so if you would like to set up a date to be the scheduled entertainer, please contact me. Our Opening Day is set for November 3, 2012.

Market Photos - February 25, 2012

Who knew there were so many people interested in chickens? Terry Golson's seminar 'Intro To Chicken Keeping' was a big success - we ended up with standing room only!   We will be hosting another free seminar by the 4-H Club on Raising Chickens - date & time will be posted here within a few days. Thank-you to everyone that visited our market this season.  We had some really great vendors. If anyone knows of any vendors that might make a good addition to our market next season, please send me an email.  Here are some photos from the last market of the season.
