鈥淚t鈥檚 a great place to visit and find new inspiration.鈥�
She came up with the simply to fill a need, she said.
鈥淚 had items to sell and could not afford the higher priced markets.
鈥淚 charge a minimum amount for the tables and in return I ask that everyone contribute to create a successful event. I am turning the clock back to a time when every action did not have a dollar sign attached to it and everyone worked together,鈥� Jones said.
This time, the group has invited local musicians to play during the day.
