SOUTH BLOOMFIELD, Ohio — Rain forced the cancellation of the South Bloomfield Summer Market’s season finale Friday night, the village said, postponing what was to be the market’s last sunset gathering of the year at Marvin Webster Park.
UPDATE (Aug. 7, 4:41 p.m.): This story has been updated with additional information from the Village of South Bloomfield.
The village said in a Facebook post that a rain date would be announced soon. The market had been scheduled to run from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the park, 5000 Park Place, before the recurring event shifts to a Saturday-morning schedule in September.
Organizers had lined up seasonal produce, plants, cut flowers, honey, baked goods, farm-fresh eggs, beef and pork, tallow products, maple syrup, kettle corn, lemonade, sourdough and homemade crafts for the finale, according to the village. Four food trucks — Down Home Treats, Smokin O’s BBQ, Kay’s Pies & Cobblers and Lil Sweets Mini Donuts — had been scheduled to serve dinner and dessert.
Roundtown Radio was set to provide music, Ms. Claus was to hand out free books, Hope Grows Now was to make balloon animals, and Fluff Co. was to let children build their own stuffed animals at half price, courtesy of the market, according to the village. April Peck Realtor Network and Longworth Construction LLC had also sponsored Friday’s market.
The market has become a recurring warm-weather fixture for South Bloomfield, a Pickaway County village of 2,143 residents at the 2020 census, giving area farmers, bakers and small businesses a venue to sell directly to shoppers throughout the summer.
The information contained in this story was obtained from the Village of South Bloomfield.
