We are a team of two- Sarah & Wendy Hiebert (daughter & mother) we collaborated a few years ago in hopes of creating an awesome event for vintage shoppers alike. This tiny market has surpassed our dreams and now is a well known yearly event attended by many.
We want you to have a successful and enjoyable day selling your wares. We strive to make this market amazing each year. You can expect from us advertising on all social media platforms- facebook, instagram, all online forums/groups, signage for the market, posters & handouts. We plan again this year to do a giveaway last year we gave away $50, $75 and $100 market dollars. We do this to bring people to our event and to also support our vendors. All market dollars go directly to our vendors.
