PLEASE Support the Erie Street Farmer's Market! From Reilly Reports -- PLEASE Support the Erie Street Farmer's Market!
The Erie Street Farmer's Market was established by Alderman Reilly in partnership with Mayor Daley's Office of Special Events last year. Alderman Reilly chose a River North location for this new market based upon numerous requests from surrounding area residents. That said, we are unhappy to report that due to poor attendance and low sales, River North is in jeopardy of losing their market and/or its vendors to another location. Since the beginning of the season, we have already lost a handful of vendors to other markets which are better attended.
Alderman Reilly urges all River North residents to support their market and make it the success it should be in this vibrant residential neighborhood! The only way to keep this wonderful neighborhood amenity is to make the market profitable for its vendors.
The Erie Park Farmer's Market is located on Erie Street, just west of Kingsbury Street, immediately north of Erie Park. The market is open every Sunday between 7 am and 3 pm through Sunday, October 25th. |
