Holiday Market is just around the corner!

Click on the image above to download our Holiday Market 2009 flyer. Then share it with your friends and neighbors. Our second annual Holiday Market promises to be a great event -- and your final opportunity to stock up at Cheverly Community Market for the 2009 season.

Over the next two weeks, we'll post lots of vendor details, pre-ordering information and maybe even a special holiday recipe or two. Keep visiting for the very latest news from Cheverly Community Market!

Holiday Market is almost here...Order your trees now!

After an enthusiastic response about the amazing freshness, lovely shape and reasonable cost of our trees last year, Cheverly Community Market will again sell freshly cut Christmas trees at Holiday Market on Saturday, December 12.

6-7' Trees:
Douglas Firs: $45
Pine: $32

7-8' Trees:
Douglas Fir: $55
Pine: $36

The trees will be freshly cut on Friday, December 11, and delivered to Cheverly Community Market's Holiday Market, Saturday December 12.

(Click here to read about the Maryland tree farm that you will help to preserve with your purchase.)

We hope you'll choose to make your Christmas more "green" by buying a fresh, local Christmas tree at Cheverly Community Market. As an added incentive, your purchase helps support the Market -- about $10 from each tree sold comes directly to our continued operations.

Cheverly resident Don Tyler has graciously and generously agreed to manage the Christmas tree sales again this year. He did a fantastic job last year, and we're lucky to have such a knowledgeable fellow on hand! If you are interested in buying a tree, please e-mail Don.

Payment in advance is most appreciated! Please make out checks to the Cheverly Community Market and mail or deliver to 2903 64th Avenue, Cheverly MD 20785. You may pay on the day of the Holiday market, but your tree will only be reserved until 10:00am. After that, trees will be sold on a first come-first served basis.

Here's another way to help your community

Long-time Cheverly Community Market supporters Friends of Lower Beaverdam are looking for additional helpers this Saturday...
