Hello Wednesday! Definitely one of my favourite days because it means we are open LATE! The Fourth Street Market is on from 4-8pm!
Did you hear the good news?!? The Fourth Street Market has been extended until the END of September! You can also count in The Pickle being open until 8pm every Wednesday from now until the end of September to coincide with the market!
Here is a picture of Mrs. Pickle! She has very delicious conserves and jams and I absolutely LOVE her packaging! Mrs. Pickle is a staple at the Fourth Street Market!
Fashion and The City is happening on Thursday, September 5th from 6-11pm. The night begins with a fashion show at The Capitol Theatre followed by the most incredible block parties downtown Chatham has EVER seen! And you know what's SO cool...all events are FREE!
Last year I attended and could not believe that in it's first year in Chatham, the event drew more than 8,000-10,000 people all to the downtown core! The night was filled with visiting, shopping, eating, sampling, photo booths and more! I was NEVER more proud to call Chatham my home!
The Chatham Daily News writes: More than 40 Vendors to Participate
