Near the Lamp Post!
This coming Saturday we will be in the Upper Main Courtyard, look for us near the lamp post between Highland Farm and The Biscuit Cutter. This is where our display will be located this market stint! If all else fails, just turn around and look for our bright neon yellow and green sign, as we are on the other side of the court as we have been in several weeks, or months.
