Its only Tuesday but we can BEARly keep our excitement in check. Our friend Mike Lorette Wood Carving is here this Saturday with plenty of carved creatures for your garden and yard to enjoy. This post is for all those folks who miss his few visits to our market each year. Mark your calendar for this Saturday April 25th from 9am - 1pm and find him as our first vendor braving the outdoors this season! Don't miss out as he won't be back for a bit~

Please note that Mike takes cash only. If you're in a pinch you can purchase Market Bucks in the South Bay. It is always a good idea to bring cash to the TFMC as all our vendors appreciate it.
