Friday Market
Our weekly Friday Market takes place every Friday afternoon from 12 to 3 PM in the Main Hall. The market has moved indoors now, while still featuring a wide variety of vendors with such rare treats and goodies to offer such as baked goods, gems and crystals, artisan soaps, natural beauty products, handmade jewelry, knife-sharpening, assorted handicrafts, textiles and mushrooms! Come on out and support your local vendors; this is one of the island's most-beloved weekly events.
It is currently the low season for vendors, which means that the cost of renting a table has dropped by 50%. Please inquire with the office if you have some quality items to sell, and wish to take advantage of this opportunity. Email officemansonshall.org or call (250) 935-0015.
