Our Market Schedule!

Since the conception of Socks Made  On 88 I have been trying hard to educate our customers on the type of appearance schedule, we have:  basically we go to the market, twice a month from September to April.  In this time frame, the Saturdays we attend are usually the 2nd and 4th Saturdays, with exceptions in September and December.

We realize with the type of product we have, we do have an off season too!  Therefore, we go to the market once a month in the months of May, June, July and August.  This works for us and we believe it works for our customers as well.  In those off months it is very interesting to interact with tourists visiting Halifax and area.  And it is a nice bonus when a docking cruise ship lands on a Saturday we are there, as many of them attend the Keith's Brewery tours. May Mother's Day Weekend, and June World Wide Knit in Public Day which both always fall on 2nd Saturdays of the those months.  July and August you will see us at The Historic Farmers' Market on the 4th Saturdays of the month.

I am using this post as a reminder that we are not a vendor at the market that comes to the market each and every week.  We need flexibility and MrB needs ample time to make the production so that our rack is always looking full with selections of all sizes and varieties that we carry.

Our full yearly schedule is up on our website.  Before each attendance, a day or two before the market date, it will be updated of the exact location of our display.   You may see us in the Upper Courtyard, or you may see us in the Lower Courtyard too, as in the fall till after Christmas that is where we frequented this year.

January seems to be the time in which some vendors like to take a break and some farmers have left for the winter.  I think we may be in the Upper Courtyard now for a bit, but always best to seek us out or check the website.  But if you happen to forget to do that, the market now has a new information table.  Go there and ask where we are located and when our next attendance will be, as they should be able to assist to.  

So this is what our Market Schedule looks like up until Mother's Day weekend:

February 14, 2015
February 28, 2015
March 14, 2015
March 28, 2015
April 11, 2015
April 25, 2015
May 9, 2015

As it appears this time around, there does happen to be a 3 week gap between yesterday's attendance and the next one of Feb 14/15.
This does happen occasionally when there are 5 Saturdays in month before sometimes.  That is why I do not say that we attend every 2nd week!

See you at the Market February 14th, on Valentine's Day!
