“Taking a cue from our merchants to provide fresh, new products each year is the proponent behind rebranding the market and concert series this year,” said Executive Director Christine Best. “Explore the 60+ merchant booths for gardening tips, organic produce, bottled seasonings for every heat level, delicious and locally-made baked goods, or check out the artwork and crafts handmade by area small businesses. It’s a festival-like atmosphere every single Thursday in Perrysburg.”
