To our dedicated customers, It was a difficult decision, but we have cancelled the market for today, October 24, 2020. With wind gusts expected to reach up to 40km/hr and such a chill in the air, it just didn’t seem safe for our vendors or for you to set-up and operate a market today. Unfortunately, […]

We are grateful for the dedicated shoppers who braved the downpour last Saturday to check off the grocery list for Thanksgiving Dinner. We hope that everyone had a safe long weekend. And here we are again preparing for another Saturday at the market! We will be outside, rain or shine (or snow?!) until the end […]

Maggie and her family moved to Creston last summer all the way from Burns Lake, BC where she was a longtime vendor (15 years!) at the Burns Lake Community Market. While Maggie was […]
