Instead of getting up at the butt-crack of dawn to stand in line, get trampled by crazy people, and buy something corporate and boring, do Black Friday the Market Day way. Here are three reasons to do your Black Friday shopping with us:
1. We have UNIQUE gifts. Market Day is great for those hard-to-give-to people. Make the rounds. Get inspired. Buy something awesome. We're all about selling handmade and local, which supports a creative economy of makers—meaning you can get something cool for Uncle Joe, instead of, ya know, a sweater. We have more than 50 vendors, so you can find something for everyone on your list. Bonus: All that sweet, sweet holiday spending stays in the community.
2. We're nice! No grabby people on their sixth cup of coffee, arm wrestling you for an iPad. (Okay, maybe we'll be on our sixth cup of coffee—but we won't be crazy about it.)
3. We keep reasonable hours! 9a-2p. Sleep in, for Pete's sake.
See you there!
