The market began in June and was held in the 4th Street parking lot of the Rockford Public School District headquarters. The market attracted a variety of vendors, from farmers to musicians to food trucks.
“I’m happy because I achieved my quota last year, and I also had a food truck. No one else had a food truck, so I feel like I accomplished something more. I can’t wait for next year because the vendors are coming.”We are now looking towards next year. ” says Miller.
Miller is already considering how things can be improved for next year’s Midtown Market season, saying, “We’re already gathering vendors for next year. We are planning to increase the number of activities for the students.” says Miller.
