WOW - Cranbrook's Evening Market a Wild Success

The Midsummer Night's Market held in Rotary Park last night, was a huge success with hundreds of people attending.  Many of our favourite vendors who attend the weekly Cranbrook Farmers Market were there last night. Due to the intense demand for their product several vendors sold out.  The bandstand was in constant use with live entertainment, music, poetry and readings.  Erna Jensen Shill, the Cranbrook Farmers Market Manager and organizer of last night's market was hoping for good weather and a good turnout and she got it!  It is obvious that the people of Cranbrook  loved  this type of event, buying local and supporting local business. Perhaps, more significantly, it became a real hive of social activity and gave friends and neighbours a place to meet and chat. Given the huge success of this market we can  only hope that another event will be held before the end of summer. If you missed last night you can always come to the Cranbrook Farmers Market held every Saturday, starting at 9am on 10th Avenue South, adjacent to Rotary Park.
See you there!
