We need your help! The market is a popular destination on Saturday mornings, especially between 8:30am and 11:30am. Our parking lot is limited and sometimes gets backed up with cars waiting for a space to open. We need 1-2 people to help direct cars to available parking spots, and when the lot is full, to our overflow parking lot nearby. This is a great volunteer opportunity to do with a friend! Saturday mornings from 8:30-11:30am.
