Friday Message from the Market Manager -- What's in Store?

Market Manager Barbara Liston and Cathy Wintermyer have the rundown for you... "Our market is very proud of the fact that we were the first farmer's market in Maryland to feature local wine.

They have a full complement of their award-winning wine for every palate and are anxious to share it with you. Also some very glam T-shirts for the wine aficionado at your house. Make sure you Friend us on Facebook and tweet about what wonderful things you see at the Market, including Charles & Kelly, who will be playing for us again this Saturday.
