ENGLEWOOD — The June 13 Englewood Market packed in a huge crowd with about 1,000 people already in attendance at the 5 p.m. start time.
Held the second Thursday of every month on the grounds of Wagoner Power Equipment, the June market featured more than 80 vendors.
This was the first market event of the year without the threat of rain, which no doubt contributed to the huge turnout.
“The weather was finally in our favor, and we had a beautiful night,” said Courtney Rietman, founder of the market. “Thank you to the community for coming out to support all of our vendors and the market. We love you!
“Thank you to Wagoner Power Equipment, Inc. for being the home of the Englewood Market,” Rietman added. “A special thank you to the staff and family of Wagoner’s for all the behind the scenes work that goes to prepare for the market.”
The Clayton-Englewood-Union Fire Collaborative had a rescue truck on display, but in less than an hour had to leave to respond to an emergency call.
Live music was performed by Cigar Box Scott who made his debut at the market. Banana Jackson provided face painting for those so inclined.
One of the market sponsors, Sukha Inspired Yoga, donated a $65 gift card and eye pillow to raffle off. To enter the raffle patrons that bought something from a vendor merely had to stop by the info table to show their purchase to be entered in the raffle.
The winner of the Sukha Inspired Yoga gift card was Makayla Hammersley.
Market vendors offer an array of items that are homemade, handmade, or home grown. Readers can find more information about each event on the Market’s Facebook page https://bit.ly/49qsTNo.
The next Englewood Market will take place Thursday, July 11 at 5 p.m.
