The Marketplace is also used by ShareCare of Leelanau as a fundraiser. Their members have been busy knitting and stitching, crafting and painting, jamming and jellying, or working on whatever they choose to offer for sale at The Merry Marketplace.
They pass along hopes that you'll do some of your holiday shopping at the Merry Marketplace!
