Testimonials
In 2024, Marion Sun introduced a vibrant series of Winter Public Markets, fostering community connections by bringing together local artisans, bakers, makers, and crafters. These markets have consistently demonstrated remarkable success. This is what vendors are saying:
Thanks to the Marion Sun for recognizing the need in this area for winter markets and for putting them together. There was an amazing turnout and we had a great day.

The De-Ranged Chicken hit a new sales record. We sold 60 loaves of bread in the first hour of the opening of the market!

The crowds gathered in support of locally-owned businesses was second to none, not only on volume, but also in spirit. The laughter throughout the building and the constant smiles made me want to come back for more next month. It was truly a delight.
