It was a really warm weekend, with late Summer temperatures greeting us for the start of Summer, but we made it through. Fortunately, our customers came out and shopped early and heavily – and took shelter during the peak of the heat.
We rarely cut the hours short, but did on Sunday; the last time was back in 2019, I think. Hopefully the heat wave will break soon, and more tolerable temps will find us.

We are wrapping up final details for Holiday Market this week. Single booth pricing will be $345 setup for the two weekends, plus daily sales commission. Electric is extra, always. There will be a more extensive post about Holiday Market 2024 in a few days.
Knoxville pricing will be the same for single booths, although based on requests we are initially doing to have a significantly greater quantity of double booths available to qualified vendors (setup: $690). We’re also going to only open enrollment for about 40% of the available booths initially, starting this August, to allow early adopters to plan ahead. The remainder of Knoxville booths will be opened in early 2025.
I’m fairly jazzed about the layout for Knoxville, think it’s really going to look great. All of those details will hit the brand-new Holiday Market website, once I finish wrangling with the tech to get it launched (It’s fighting with me this week!)
A final note: with the warmest weather of the season, we had zero health incidents – a first for this season! Awareness is key, so remember to stay hydrated and look out for others as they may not be aware that they are in trouble. Have a great week!
