Let's do it again

TIFFIN – JAM's Markets is gearing up for its fifth annual Spring Bazaar, an indoor market with outdoor food trucks. It happens from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. on Saturday, April 12, and will feature vendors offering everything from handmade goods to boutique items and jewelry. Vendors will be found inside Calvert Catholic Schools, 152 Madison St., and inside JAM's Markets at 145 Madison St. Food vendors will be stationed outside on Madison St. "This is our fifth year hosting the Spring Bazaar, and each year the excitement and turnout continue to grow," said Jami Fadley, owner of JAM's Markets. "We love providing a space for small businesses to showcase their products and for the community to come together to shop, eat and celebrate the season." Vendor spaces for the indoor market are available in an 8x8 layout for $65 per space. Interested vendors are encouraged to secure their spot early by signing up online at JamsMarkets.com. About 80 vendors are expected to participate, split between Calvert Catholic Schools and JAM's Markets. Special activities planned for the event include pictures with the Easter Bunny from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. and kids' craft activities. There is no entry fee for attendees. "This year's spring event is earlier and will be before Easter, marking the first indoor spring event we have hosted," Fadley added. "We are excited to see how this new format will enhance the experience for both vendors and shoppers." In addition to the Spring Bazaar, JAM's Markets hosts two other major vendor events throughout the year: JAM's Fall Wizard Fest on October 18-19 and the Holiday Extravaganza on November 8. "We're thrilled to bring these unique events to the community," Fadley said. "Each event has its own charm and attracts a diverse crowd." She shared that JAM's Markets houses an average of 55 local small businesses outside of special events. The market is open every weekend, Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. and during most Downtown Tiffin Third Thursday events. "We're proud to be a true shopping destination in downtown Tiffin and welcome shoppers from near and far," Fadley concluded. For information and to sign up as a vendor, visit JamsMarkets.com.
