Manchester Vitality Endowment Creating Christmas Pop Up Shop

The new Manchester Vitality Endowment group is starting something new this holiday season. Committee member Sarah Taylor says they’re excited to create a Christmas Pop Up Shop.

Taylor says it’s all about keeping shoppers local here in the Manchester community while having some holiday fun.

The Holly Jolly Market Christmas Pop Up Shop will be located in the old Widner Drug store in the heart of Manchester, breathing some new life into the building that’s been sitting vacant for the past year.

Manchester’s Holly Jolly Market will be open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays starting November 17th and running through December 17th. Committee member Julie Frick says right now, they’re looking for artisans and vendors who would like to be part of it.

If you’re interested in being a vendor or artisan, you can find the form on the Manchester Vitality Endowment Facebook page. The cutoff date is next Friday, November 3rd, and Frick says there’s been a lot of interest so far. She says they already know of two items you’ll be able to purchase at the Holly Jolly Market.

Along with shopping opportunities, the market will also have holiday activities for the kids.

And to top it all off, Manchester Vitality is planning to start up a community Christmas tree, which will be making its debut during the Window Walk on December 7th.
