With just a week left until the Loveland West Farmers Market, organizers and officials looked back fondly on a productive sales season on a cold Halloween day.
Agnes Juhasz, market organizer and owner of Sweet European Treats, said the sales season, which began in April, had received great support from the local community and the vendors who came to sell their wares.
“I love it,” she said of running the market for another year, standing under a tent in the cold October weather.
Tuesday’s market also had a Halloween feel, with a select number of people who showed up in costume to win a $10 gift certificate.
Yuhasz said many of the same vendors are back after selling out of two Jack’s Outdoor Gear stores this year. The west store is open on Tuesdays and the east store is open on Fridays. The Eastern Market, operated by Yuha’s, closed last week, and the city’s market, the Farmers’ Market at Fairgrounds Park, closed at the end of September.
“The community loves them (and) the market loves them,” Yuhasz said, adding that Jax is also a great partner to host markets throughout the spring, summer and early fall.
Akrylic Pour’n owners Kelly and Roy Rapone have been bringing acrylic pottery and jewelry to market since June, and Kelly Rapone said another vendor encouraged her to get involved. , adding, “We came along and haven’t looked back.”
“We had a great season here,” she said.
Yuhasz said it’s bittersweet to see the market end at the end of the year, but he expects it will be back for another season next year.
The market will be the last of the season at the West Jack’s location, 2665 W. Eisenhower Blvd., on Nov. 7 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. For more information about the market, please visit Facebook page.
