As sad as I am when the Chester Sunday Market closes up for the season, that’s nothing compared to the joy I feel when the start-up of the Chester Holiday Market is announced. And, it’s official! The holiday market will start up Sunday, Dec. 1 and run through Sunday, Dec. 22. Already they’ve had several vendors confirm, including Four Mile River, Franks Woodfired Pizza and Wave Hill Bread. Find out more by visiting Facebook and searching for Chester Sunday Market.
