π What a beautiful Saturday at The Downtown Market as we celebrated another year of community, connection, and local goodness! π
From the laughter coming from the bounce house to hotdogs, birthday cake, and incredible live music by Sadie Haynes, the day was filled with everything that makes The Downtown Market such a special place.
Of course, none of it would be possible without the amazing vendors who show up week after week to bring fresh produce, handcrafted goods, baked treats, and unique products to our community. Thank you to every vendor, customer, volunteer, and supporter who helped us celebrate another wonderful year.
π€« We also secretly hosted our first-ever Best of The Downtown Market awards, voted on by market shoppers throughout the day!
π Best Farmer: Umphrey Farm
π Best Producer: Brown Bread Co.
π Best Artisan: Pane in the Glass
Congratulations to our winners and thank you to everyone who participated!
π We would also like to extend a special thank you to the West Anniston Foundation for its continued support of the Healthy Bucks program. Each week, we have watched participation grow as more seniors take advantage of this incredible opportunity to purchase fresh, locally grown produce.
This Saturday alone, our market guests redeemed an incredible $890 in Healthy Bucks, putting healthy food directly into the hands of our community while supporting local growers. We are deeply grateful to the West Anniston Foundation and our farmers for making this program possible and helping increase access to fresh food throughout our community.
Mark your calendars now because next Saturday is Dads & Grads at The Downtown Market! We'll be celebrating fathers, graduates, and all the special people who deserve a little extra recognition this season.
Until then, thank you for making our birthday celebration one to remember. β€οΈ
