Vendors and Products to be at the Goochland Holiday Market

Here is the latest update on the Goochland Farmers Market. It will be held indoors this Saturday, December 13th, from 10:00 AM through 2:00 PM
at the J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College Western Campus in Goochland, 1851 Dickinson Road.
It looks as though they have lots of really good vendors to choose from for this last Holiday Market. And Don't forget the William Byrd House Market, also held tomorrow (see earlier post).

Here is a long list of the vendors that will be there tomorrow, along with a nicely detailed account of what each vendor will be offering. This is an excerpt from the e-mail sent by the Goochland Market Manager...
"This week, we will be featuring the following vendors:
Amelia Soap & Herb Company: We will be at the market this Saturday with our fragrant soaps, along with Lavender Laundry Sachets, our Boo Boo Bags, our Gift Kits, Lavender Lovers, and Kitchen Hands and Garden Hands. There will also be Soap and lotion gift bags for $12.00. We will have our therapeutic Hot/Cold Herb Packs, Neck Rings and Lavender Eye Pillows.
This week we also have our Snowman Bird feeders, these cute little feeders are decorated for the season and are filled with premium bird blend feed. Come on by and check them out, priced at just $10.00. We will have plenty for those of you who missed out last time.
