“The goal of having a market in the downtown district was not only to provide a safe, convenient location for area artisans and producers to sell their products but to attract new customers to our local storefronts,” stated Downtown Maryville Executive Director DeAnn Davison. “While guests are shopping the market, we hope that they take advantage of the unique businesses around the square and discover the wonderful amenities in our community.”
To continue the success of the market, Downtown Maryville Market is looking for additional opportunities to engage vendors and guests next season and throughout the year.
“As a vendor at the Downtown Maryville Market, I have experienced firsthand the transformative power of this event,” said Stephanie Pankau, owner of Farm2Fork Ranch, in a statement. “The exposure and support we received have been invaluable to our growth. We are excited to be a part of this incredible community and look forward to the next season.”
The Downtown Maryville Market is held every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. in Nodaway Valley Bank parking lot on the corner of Fourth and Buchanan Streets and will continue into the fall.
