The Iola square will be bustling with energy Saturday morning as the first Iola Market Day launches.
Downtown merchants will set up products outside their stores to bring attention to local businesses in the heart of the community. The event is a combined effort between business owners to attract out-of-town shoppers to the city and remind local shoppers what store owners have to offer.
Participating merchants include: 3 Generations, Audacious Boutique, Brooklyn Park Vintage Market, Capper Jewelry, Country Traditions, Duane’s Flowers, Fifty 50, Iola Office Supply, Jones Jewelry, McGinty-Whitworth, Second Chance Flea Market/ACARF Food Trailer, Sophisticated Rose/Plus, The Funkie Monkey, The Market Place, Town & Country Western Wear, Town East Flea Market, and Treasure Chest.
Vendors will set up booths around the square. Items include everything from handcrafted decor to vintage furniture. They will be moved into the old Classy Attic building, 15 E. Madison, in case of rain. ACARF will have its food booth at the Second Chance store, 209 South St., due to a forecast of rain.
The event begins at 10 a.m. and runs until 4 p.m.
