Community Marketplace Set to Resume

The Eads Chamber of Commerce has announced that the Community Marketplace will resume Saturday, July 10th, at Eads City Park from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. There is no charge to participate in the Marketplace for either the sellers or the buyers. The Marketplace will then continue every Saturday morning through the end of September.

The Marketplace originated in the summer of 2002 as a means for gardeners and any others with goods to sell to gather at the park on Saturday mornings to offer home grown fruits and vegetables, baked goods, flowers and crafts to buyers.

 

No license or permit is required for sellers to participate in the Marketplace and no sales taxes need to be collected on goods sold. The Department of Health and Environment does require that all baked goods must be wrapped with plastic or foil at the time of sale, and that eggs and fresh meat must be kept in an ice chest or cooler until sold. Fruits and vegetables require no special handling.

The Eads Chamber of Commerce encourages everyone to participate in the Marketplace and enjoy the variety offered. For more information about the Marketplace please call (719) 438-2007, or (719) 438-5629.
