COVID-19 UPDATE, Dec. 3, 2020
We'd like to thank you our regular customers for their consistent patronage. We all do our best to be there for you, and we’re grateful you’ve been there for us. We are also grateful to the Town of Mansfield, Eastern Highlands Health Dept., and the Mansfield Public Library for their support and assistance in keeping the market running.
As we begin the winter market season amidst Covid restrictions, there are a few considerations for our indoor winter space. As in past years, the winter market will be in the Buchanan Auditorium at the Mansfield Public Library, on the first and third Saturdays of December through April, from 3-5 pm. In order to allow sufficient distancing within the auditorium, some vendors will be outdoors, as weather permits. The most notable change for this market season is that we need to limit the number of people in the auditorium to 20. This number includes vendors and customers, so we are strongly suggesting that customers come as individuals, not as groups or family units, especially in the first hour of market. Please also keep in mind that market is busiest in the first half hour or so, and there may be a line to get into the building during that time period. We will do our best to update you on the status of the line on our Facebook page. When you enter the library, please follow the directional arrows on the floor. Masks are required for entry to the building.
This is a new set of circumstances for us all, and there will be a lot to figure out as we go along. I welcome any feedback, and appreciate your grace and patience as we learn how to run market smoothly throughout the winter.

While we would normally be looking forward to our Artisan's Fair, our Kids' Day at Market, our Community Picnic, our Farmers' Halloween and more, this year we have no special events planned. As time allows, we hope to post links to the market artists, musicians and guest vendors you love. Thank you for believing in local!
