Chippewa Alliance Holding Spring Version Of Pop-Up Market

About two months ago, the Chippewa Alliance put on a "pop-up outdoor market" and they're about to do another one this spring.

The market was important not only to the people who wanted to get out of their house and experience life again, but also to the shops and stores that were included there.  When the pandemic began, many of the smaller "non-essential" stores were shut down and it cost the owners a lot.

So the Chippewa Alliance started up an outdoor pop-up market to encourage people to shop local and to do it safely.  It was called the "Lots of Love for the 716" outdoor pop-up market.

It looks like it was very successful because they're going to do it again.  This time it's called the "Lots of Love for the 716 - Spring Edition."

You'll find them again in the parking lot of Darcy McGee's on Sunday April 25th from 11am-3pm.  They encourage you to come down and shop from over 25 vendors and then plan on brunch or stick around for dinner at one of the incredible restaurants on Chippewa.  They do encourage people to make reservations before they come.
