SYLACAUGA, Ala. – Sylacauga Farmers Market Manager Will Brooks allowed vendors to make the decision of when to hold the market with the regular day falling on the Fourth of July holiday, and the market will now move to Thursday – this week only.
“We have experienced this three times before and had mixed experiences,” explained Brooks. “Before I took over the market, the July 4th market was one of the strongest ever. Since then, we’ve had one great market and one absolutely quiet market. So, I polled the vendors, and they decided to move the market to Thursday this week. I think it had a lot to do with the schedule for our many customers from Blue Bell, across the street from the market. So, we’re adapted for that.”
The special day market on Thursday will still be held from 7:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m., and the market will return to Friday on July 11.
