Peekskill Farmers' Market Winter Season 2015
Peekskill Farmers' Market Winter Season Announced to Meet Local Demand for Fresh Food and Family Fun.
The City of Peekskill announced that beginning January 10, 2015, the Peekskill Farmers’ Market, sponsored by the Peekskill Business Improvement District (BID), will have an expanded winter season. “The summer and winter farmers’ markets are important Peekskill family events,” said Jason Angell, Executive Director of the BID. He added, “The market introduces a wider audience to all that downtown Peekskill has to offer.”
Peekskill Mayor Frank Catalina said, “There has been a great deal of enthusiasm for the market to become a year-round Saturday event. Thanks to the efforts of Corinna Makris, Program Director, the Peekskill Farmers’ Market tripled in size this year, in both the number of vendors and shoppers. We’re very happy we found an indoor space that works.”
Winter Market Opening Day is Saturday, January 10, 2015. Hot chocolate and cookies will be provided by Kathleen’s Tea Room.
