Potted geraniums and petunias at Bloomers Greenhouse
Opening Day of the Summer Market
Based on comments from our customers, vendors and volunteers, everyone is looking forward to being outdoors for the Summer Market!! Lots of excitement about having the dogs participating, seeing lots of new and familiar faces!
Since we were lucky enough to secure our Lowe’s Parking Lot location again this summer, everything should look and feel familiar – parking, the music, our volunteers. Most of vendors will be in the same spots too but there are a few changes so be sure to check the Vendor Map before you come.
See you Saturday, 8 am – 12 noon, behind Lowe’s Home Improvement Center in Glendale! It will be fun!!!
