It's time to say goodbye to the Old Town Market - a place to "buy local" since it opened in May. But tonight it will close for the season with a little something for everyone.
All of the farmers who have participated in the market are from York, Chester and Lancaster counties, and nearly all of the artisans and crafters are based in York County.
