Letter to the Editor: Thanks for a Great First Country Market

With the opening of the Oswego Country Market this past Sunday, it feels like Summer is officially here! The sun was shining and the air was filled with excitement and an intoxicating and inviting bouquet of scents wafting from some of our favorite vendors. There were smiles all around as friends and families met up on Main Street to enjoy the market.

Thank you to all who came out and supported our vendors by shopping for food and other treasured goodies at the Oswego Country Market. Shopping locally at our market helps to promote a happy and healthy community. Not only are we able to purchase fresh, healthy and delicious food, but we are able to re-connect with old friends and make new ones as we all stroll through the market together.

Every Sunday through September you’ll find Park District staff available to answer questions about our facilities, events, and programs. You may find volunteers from a community group like Kendall County Master Gardeners, who will help teach you how to make your garden grow. You will meet people who have taken a risk to carry on a family business, or to start their own small business venture, and who might love to tell you about it!

Thank you to Bob Tripp, N.M. Tripp Insurance, and Greg Kaleel, American Male, for once again providing the space for the market at no cost. It’s a great location with plenty of parking and access to the Fox River Trail for bikers and hikers! Market visitors will discover the charm of downtown Oswego, and more opportunities to spend locally.

Please visit us on Sunday mornings from 9am-1pm! You can find your community here, at the Oswego Country Market! Stay informed about what the market has to offer each week by following us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/OswegoCountryMarket. We will be posting information about our vendors, special events at the markets, recipes, and more! If you have any questions or have suggestions please contact me at 630.554.4433, or cveverka@oswegolandpd.org.
