Market Days marches into new season

The Wimberley Lions Club is geared up for another season of Market Days, celebrating with the theme of Mardi Gras. And to celebrate Texas Independence Day, red-tag specials include Texas memorabilia and things made in Texas. New at Lions Field this year is the Pie Shoppe at Concession #9, serving quiche, pot pies, and fruit pies a la mode. Also, Concession #6, The Taco Hut, serves up breakfast tacos, soft and crispy tacos, and “walking tacos,” which whets the curiosity as well as the appetite.

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 a day. As always, the team of happy haulers will transport shoppers and their purchases to their cars.

Every Market Days presents live music beginning around 11:00 a.m. on each of 3 stages. Alli Mattice takes the Pavilion Stage. Cheyenne Saenz performs on the Hill Top Stage. And, JR’s Rustic Rythms plays at the Shady Grove Stage.

Wimberley Lions Club Market Days happens on the first Saturday of each month, March through December, rain or shine. March’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. There is ample parking in the 3 Lions Club lots with those donations serving the Wimberley community through grants and scholarships. Look for the feathery, red, white and blue banners at the two Lions Club lots across from Lions Field and the third lot on the left, (past the car wash,) heading toward the high school.
