A staple at the Marietta Market, GUITARS, and we'll have lots of them on Sunday, October 16, our final market day of 2011.

That’s right friends, neighbors and lovely tourists. The Sunday, October 16 is our final day for the second season of 2011.  And we intend to go out with a twang. Guitars that is. And vocal chords. And more.

Get your last batch of homegrown goods, baked goodies and sing along with us while you’re at it.

It’s been a joy serving you this past year and we look forward to another.

Being part of the Marietta Marketeers doesn't always need to be a stretch. It's sometimes even more fun than yoga.

We are welcoming new members to the committee of Marietta Marketeers. Do you have talents in outreach, organization, friendliness, finance and yes, playing the guitar?  Most of all, do you have a commitment to bringing local goods to local bellies?  Take that bold next step into the circle of Marketeers by first contacting us: MariettaMarket@gmail.org or call Katie Martin at 717-873-9117.

Musical acts are always a hit at Marietta Market.

This Sunday the 28th we are pleased to host these great opportunities:

Music from the great Lonesome Stragglers. Check out our fine friends here at http://www.myspace.com/lonesomestragglers.
Chair Massages with Jordan Pyfer. Price is a donation.
Yoga in the park with Jaclyn Downs. We did this a few weeks ago, and wow! was it just perfect. Cost is also a donation. (Suggested $10.00)
And of course, our fabulous vendors, for whom we are so grateful. We wouldn’t be what we are without these steadfast folks bringing us such delightful, local food. Stop out and stock up your pantry with the finest food from Lancaster and York County.

Yoga in the park is hot. Flanagan Park, Marietta Market. At least it's in the shade too!
