Market Days ushers in holiday season

Thanksgiving is the theme for Wimberley Market Days on Saturday, November 3. There are extra Red-Tag Vendors offering holiday sales on an assortment of must-have accessories, collectibles, and artisan crafts. Speaking of “giving,” a dozen coupons are tucked into selected directories that are given away at the three Lions Club parking lots. Those coupons are redeemable at any concession stand for a free menu item.

The Café-a-la-Cart will travel around the market place with tasty drinks and scrumptious snacks for sale. For convenience, strolling 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. Jesse Stratton rocks on the Pavilion Stage. Humdingers perform on the Hill Top Stage. And, Chris Winkler 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. November’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, (passed the car wash,) heading toward the high school.
