The Byrd House Market will be open Tuesday from 3:30 to 7:00 pm. Be sure to stop by the booth for St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church and support the All Saints Theater Company 8th Annual Oregon Hill Halloween Parade.
On the second and fourth Tuesdays, St. Andrew’s has a table selling its preserves (Bread and Butter Pickles, Peach Marmalade, Fig Preserves and Marinara – all with 2/3 to 100% local ingredients from market vendors). Tuesday, October 22 is our last market of the regular season, and on that day will be donating 100% of our market proceeds to support The All Saint’s Theatre Company’s 8th Annual Halloween Parade through Oregon Hill. Come by our table, pick up some of our delicious preserves and support a new neighborhood tradition.
Here’s more on Tuesday’s market:
