- Ice sculptor Bill Gordish will be on-site carving an ice sculpture for The Market. You can find him on Court Ave, just in front of Hy-Vee carving from 9 a.m. – 10 a.m. After it’s finished the sculpture will live at the info booth at the southeast corner of 4th and Court.
- Need a break from the chilly temps? There will be a heating tent on Court Ave just next to the Market information booth, just east of 4th street. This is a great chance to warm back up before you continue shopping.
- There will be a balloon artist, Sydney Storm, inside the heating tent to give balloon animals out to patrons during The Market.
- There will also be an ornament-making station inside the heating tent. Kids can make an ornament and take it home to hang on the tree!
- We have vendors from the summer Market as well as new, holiday-focused vendors. You can shop for produce and home goods, eat some food and shop for the holidays.
