The final Byrd House Market of the year of the year is today, Tuesday December 11, 2007 from 3 until 6 PM. Stop by and pick up something from the unique craft vendors and “some yummy holiday treats for the body, mind and heart”.

Happy Holidays to all our faithful Byrd House Market Supporters!  We are looking forward to seeing you at the last market on Tuesday December 11, 2007 from 3 until 6 PM.

Welcome to the last post BHM market of the year.  Come and purchase the bounties of the season; get some yummy holiday treats for the body, mind and heart.  Yup, greens for all your tastes and your door too!! This is also a spectacular opportunity to purchase gifts from our unique craft vendors for that special someone on your list. We are thrilled that the weather has been almost perfect for each market day - except for that tornado!! We decided that we should have it outdoors again since the weather is so balmy.  We hate being indoors until it is freezing!!
 
So please join us, chat, shop, taste and just enjoy our community of market friends that we have developed here in Oregon Hill. We look forward to seeing you in the New Year. Thank you for your continuous support.
 
These “after markets” aka “pick-up” markets are no frills markets - no tents, no chairs, no tables, etc. - and we have shortened the time due to Daylight Savings Time. If you need a special craft or product for your Holiday list and need to contact one of our Vendors please feel free to contact us at byrdhousemarket@gmail.com for their number or email address. We are thrilled to keep you in contact with our Vendors. They mean alot to us and we are so happy to know you feel the same way.
