Ellicott City Old Town Market: Locally Grown, Seasonal Fruits, Veggies, Sangria and Music!

TO ALL VENDORS AND LOCAL COMMUNITY,
Due to the extreme weather forecast of flash flooding and down-pours, I am officially announcing the market will be closed tomorrow. The safety of our customers and vendors are most important. Stay well my friends and see you all next week. Thanks for your understanding and continued support.

Rose (RJ) Caulder, Market Master

While you’re at the market this Saturday, come visit with and talk to “Madame BBQ”, Nikki McGowan, who you may see with her food truck throughout the streets of Howard County summoning you with her unique mouth-watering BBQ . She’s been described to have “a passion for food, and witty tête-à-tête.” Madame BBQ’s pulled pork calls your name, like the sirens of old, to come “try it.” But, you can’t stop there… You’ll get hooked and drawn in by that sweet pulled pork we all are invited to try by Nikki... by the delicious Jane Sandwich overstuffed with tasty Pulled Pork BBQ and Purple Slaw or the BBQ Hot Dog, smothered in Pulled Pork BBQ, Cheddar Cheese, Onions, and garnished with Cilantro. You’ll want to combine her sandwiches with some Iced Tea or Iced Coffee from Bean Hollow. They really make an “awesomely” delicious combo (as seen in the photo above!).
