Home-Team Spirit through Market Days

Football is the theme for Wimberley Lions Club’s Market Days on Saturday, September 7. Red-tag deals include sport-related items, electronics, clothing, jewelry and accessories, and bed-and-bath. Free, handheld fans will be handed out while supplies last.

Thanks to a recent addition between parking lots 1 and 2, Lions Club parking has expanded. All funds raised from the Lions lots are given back to the community by awarding grants to area non-profit organizations, and college or technical school scholarships for Wimberley students. Signs will be posted, feathery banners will flutter, and helpful volunteers will direct visitors to the existing and new parking areas.

For convenience, parents can rent a baby-stroller at Booth 6, near Gate 1. The courtesy cart can be arranged at the information tables for visitors with mobility needs. And, rent a push-cart for $5.00 for the day. As always, the team of happy haulers will transport shoppers and their purchases to their cars. All gratuities from “hauling” go to the Texas Lions Camp for children with disabilities.

Every Market Days presents live music beginning around 11:00 a.m. on each of 3 stages. Little Beverly and the Shades headline at the Pavilion stage. John Parmentier plays the Shady Grove stage. And, Rosewood plays at the Hill Top stage.

Wimberley Lions Club Market Days happens on the first Saturday of each month, March through December, rain or shine. September’s shopping hours are from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Find this festive marketplace at Lions Field, off FM 2325, about a mile from the Wimberley Square. In addition to the expansion, there is parking located on the left side of FM 2325, past the car wash.
