Market Update for September 11th
We hope you’ve enjoyed the return of artisans to the market. We’ve brought back some favorites and introduced some new ones. We’ll continue to work with the Camarillo Community to find new farmers, food vendors, and artisans. And you’ll hear about it first in this newsletter!
📣 Outdoor mask restrictions are lifted (for now), but we still want a safe experience at the market. Please be respectful of people who continue to wear masks to protect their community from the Coronavirus.
📣 Please remember that the market opens at 8:00 (per our permit with the City of Camarillo)! That allows ALL the vendors to set up their booths and re-park their cars. We’ll have the entrances cordoned off until 8:00. Thank you for your patience and cooperation in keeping the market safe for everyone.
The Camarillo Amber’s Light Lions Club will be at the market collecting old eyeglasses and handing out information about the club and its activities. Their primary mission is to raise funds to provide recreational equipment for handicapped children throughout Camarillo and the Pleasant Valley area. They have expanded their primary mission and have a wide variety of service projects and fundraising activities.
We’re pleased to welcome six artisans this week! The artisans craft all products sold. Can You Dig It Jewelry (custom handcrafted rock & silver jewelry), Doray’s Bib Up (handmade bibs, ceramics, crochet items, and bath products), Gary Eilers (stained glass sun catchers, picture frames, nightlights, wind chimes), Hippie Dippies Crystal Candles (handcrafted candles with crystals, geodes, and gems), Simply Smitten Jewelry (handcrafted jewelry), Zuri Boutique Ventura (NEW! Customized t-shirts and tutus). Please scroll down for more information about our new artisan.
