Popular demand adds two more sessions to Green Market at the Corinth Depot Published Sunday, Oct. 4, 2009 By L.A. Story Staff Writer Due to popular demand — by both customers and vendors — the Green Market at the Corinth Depot will add two more sessions to their 2009 season. Corinth Area Convention and Visitor’s Bureau Program Director Karen Beth Martin said there will be Green Market sessions in November and December, with December being a special holiday session taking place in the afternoon/evening — the Red Green Market. The Green Market at the Corinth Depot was originally intended to take place the second Saturday of every month from May until October. However, Martin said that both vendors and customers have voiced their desire to have extra sessions. “We’ve had some pretty strong requests to have another session. When I was planning it, I thought that the sellers would want a break but that does not appear to be the case and so I got to thinking ... ‘Well, the weather isn’t really that bad in November,” said Martin. The next session is scheduled from 8 a.m.-1p.m., Saturday, Oct. 10, on the grounds of the Corinth Depot, located at 215 North Fillmore. Martin said there will be more local honey for sale, as well as many other bpopular items. “Baked goods are really popular; jewelry is always popular; produce, of course; the metal flowers — any kind of yard art is popular ... we have all kinds of cool stuff and people just have to come and see because you never know what you will find ... many vendors show up the day of the market,” said Martin. Martin said the Nov. 14 session will be a regular edition of the Green Market and sellers are welcome to come and set up around 7 a.m. the day of the market. However, the December session will be a different type of event all together, according to Martin. The December session is called the “Red Green Market” and the atmosphere takes inspiration from European holiday markets. There will be many differences for the Red Green Market from the regular sessions. Among the first difference is the fact that it will take place in the afternoon/evening — from 1-8 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 5, the day of the Corinth Christmas Parade. Another difference that Martin noted is that the CACVB will provide the event tent for the occasion and sellers need only provide their table and chairs. The tent will be strung with Christmas lights and hot cider will be served, and it is tentatively planned that there will be carolers to perform. The price will be higher for the special edition — $35 per booth — and all booths must be pre-paid and reservations are required, due to limited space, and sellers are also required to decorate their tables with a Christmas theme. “We also strongly encourage the sellers to have special offers such as gift wrapping for that day,” said Martin. “There is limited space so those spaces will go to whoever gets their money and applications in first.” Martin said she would provide more details about the Red Green Market as they are finalized and the event nears. To obtain an application to participate in the Green Market at the Corinth Depot or the Red Green Market, simply call the CACVB at 662-287-8300 or e-mail Karen Beth Martin at karenbeth@corinth.net.
