Wimberley Market Days Scores Big in September

Special to the View

On Saturday, September 1, the Lions Club and community volunteers at Wimberley Market Days kick off the fall football season, showing off their team spirit by wearing their favorite athletic regalia. Red-tag vendors offer great deals on a variety of backto-school items, just look for the big red tags to score big with the savings. A dozen coupons, tucked into 12 directories which are given away at the three Lions Club parking lots, can be redeemed at any concession stand for a free menu item. Lion Bobby’s Café-a-la-Cart will travel around the market place with cold drinks and snacks for sale.

For their convenience, parents or grandparents 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. The Alli Mattice Band’s “folksey” sound headlines at the Pavilion Stage. Cheyenne Saenz performs country covers on the Hill Top Stage. And, J.R. Wetz’ 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. 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. 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.
