Old Town Market says bye for now

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.

"The available items - food products, as well as arts and crafts - are high-quality and unique," said Chrys Tuttle, market manager. "People can even begin holiday shopping at Old Town Market!"

Residents have been able to buy farm-fresh eggs, cut flowers and herbs, handmade aprons and hanging baskets at the market, but something new will be at the finale.
