Themed market were such a success they are back bigger and better
“Last year’s farmers’ market crew decided to spice this up and organized some themed events on a few different market days. It was a huge hit with the vendors and the shoppers,” said Ronnie Beith, Franklin events coordinator.
“This year, they are building on that success and have some great events planned.”

Twenty five vendors have signed on to be part of the City of Franklin’s 2022 Farmers- Curb Market, opening this Saturday, May 7 on May Garden Mart opening day.
The market will run from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Saturday from May to October with vendors setting up around the 12th Street plaza near the Venango County courthouse
The schedule includes three Artisan Market Days in which the island will feature handcrafted wares and demonstrations. The first on July 2 will include a red, white and blue theme in support of the city’s parade that day. On July 23 will be this year’s Christmas in July with a visit from Santa. On August 27 a Harvest celebration with a focus on produce.
Andrea Reiser and Robyn Troetschel, the event coordinators, noted the Artisan events introduce shoppers to additional vendors outside the weekly participants. And they are still looking for artists and crafters of all kinds.
Applications to participate in the Artisan days are being accepted through May 10. The cost is $15 per date and vendors may choose to do any combination of the three days. Applications are available on the Franklin Curb Market Facebook page. They can be returned to Beith at 430 13th Street, Franklin 16323 or [email protected].
In addition to the Artisan days, the market’s full-time vendors will host a Patriot Day on September 10 to honor military personnel and first responders. Giveaways and prizes will be offered. Everyone is encouraged to wear red, white and blue.
