Fort Farmers Market and Blodgett Pet & Garden Center have announced their partnership in hosting a second evening market.
A first evening market event was held in July.
The second event will be held at Blodgett Pet & Garden Center, 1222 Janesville Ave., Thursday, Sept. 9, from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m.
The event is part of a new summer series called: “An Evening in the Garden With Fort Farmers Market, Fort Atkinson Farmers Market Manager Alisha Bade noted in a recent press release.
The specialty market focuses on local crafters and artisans, and will feature live music, area vendors, wine sampling, and on-site food for purchase, she said.
“We received such a positive response from the first market that we’re thrilled to be able to return to Blodgett Pet & Garden Center,” Bade noted, adding: “Several vendors have told me that they will be bringing new products as well as trying out their upcoming holiday lines.”
According to the release, Live music will be performed from 5 to 7 p.m. by two local bands: the Jason Thomas Band and Jason Petitt.
Said Bade: “I am so looking forward to the musicians. The Jason Thomas Band will be setting a relaxing and upbeat tone for customers who want to enjoy Blodgett’s outdoor wine sampling. Meanwhile, customers enjoying dinner from the Fort Atkinson FFA fundraiser, Good 2 Go, or one of our other food vendors will have a great time rocking out with Jason Petitt in the outdoor dining area.”
Vendors will be located inside Blodgett Pet & Garden Center’s large greenhouse as well as throughout the outdoor garden center located on the property. Blodgett’s indoor store will be open during the market with extended hours so customers can shop the many wines and gifts the store offers.
“We had such a wonderful event in July, and this time we are working to make it even better,” Lauri Latsch, president of Blodgett Pet & Garden Center, was quoted as saying in the release.
