Holly Jolly Market Deemed Success

Yesterday was a bittersweet day in downtown Manchester, as shoppers and friends gathered one last time to shop at the Holly Jolly Market. The brainchild of the Manchester Vitality Endowment, the Market has been widely successful.

 

That’s Julie Frick, a part of Manchester Vitality Endowment, who brought the idea of the Holly Jolly Market to life. Those shoppers who made it to the Market discovered a wonderful array of local artisans, craftspeople, entrepreneurs offering different ideas from stocking stuffers to home decor. But, as Fink says, the Market was more.

 

For some, the Holly Jolly Market was one of the first chances to showcase their business to the public, as was the case for Lainey Kress of Deppe Design and Fabrication. A 3D printing business started just a few months ago out of their home in Earlville, Deppe featured toys and collectables at the market. Kress was pleased at the exposure.

 

But even a long established business like Fareway saw a benefit of being a part of the market. Manager James Riley explains.

 

Frick wished to thank everyone for their part in the Holly Jolly Market success.
