There’s something for everyone, and we’re grateful for the creativity and variety our vendors bring to our seasonal market.”

Featured vendors will showcase paintings, drawings, quilling and other paper arts, crocheted gifts and items, beef jerky, maple syrup, handmade wreaths, glass trivets, novelty crayons, tallow products, dog treats, woodwork crafts, rings, socks, fragrance products, lotions, earrings, and baked items.

A snack concession will be available during the market, to benefit the new Pathfinder Village All-Stars team, which is raising funds to participate in adaptive baseball tournaments throughout the country hosted by Casey’s Clubhouse. The Pathfinder team made their debut at this summer’s Casey’s Clubhouse Hall of Fame Tournament at historic Doubleday Field, Cooperstown. Casey's Clubhouse was founded by former MLB All-Star Sean Casey and his wife, Mandy, and provides inclusive sports opportunities for children and athletes with special needs. The organization promotes fitness, teamwork, and the joy of sports, as it works to foster a sense of community and belonging, celebrate abilities, and remove barriers for people of all abilities.
