The Cook County Market is celebrating its 20th year!
The Cook County Market is a membership-based nonprofit, whose mission is to provide local produce, bakery, and crafts. Over the years, this outdoor market has added a festive and unique flavor to downtown Grand Marais on summer Saturday mornings.
As our town grows and parking has gotten tight, there has been some discussion about the Market’s use of space in the Senior Center parking lot.
Did you know that the Market operates on private property? We use only the portion of the lot that is owned by the Senior Center. Our rent payment supports the Senior Center’s budget. In turn, the Market provides an opportunity for about 20 local residents to generate taxable income.
We are part of the local economy! New vendors are always welcome to apply. This year we will also be adding live acoustic music. For more information, contact us at: ccfarmandcraft@gmail.com
Here’s to a prosperous summer!
