Lumby residents will soon have another avenue to access fresh produce and local crafts.
A group of residents is moving ahead with the Around The Block Lumby Vendor’s Night Market in the Arbor Park parking lot.
“This market is a wonderful place to bring our community together and meet our neighbours,” said Kayla Hamilton, one of the organizers, on the group’s Facebook page.
“See what kind of wonderful things Lumby and surrounding area has to offer.”
Hamilton and co-organizer Cheryl Price were before village council Tuesday.
“We will help them look at getting their license and to share in their dream,” said Coun. Lori Mindnich.
There is currently a public market on Saturdays but Mindnich believes the Wednesday event will provide options for residents.
“If you are getting off work, you can go to it,” she said.
The goal is for the Wednesday market to begin June 3 and run from 5 to 9 p.m. until Oct. 7.
