The Columbia Falls Community Market is busy gearing up for the upcoming market season, Director Melissa Ellis said.
Volunteers recently put in a gravel service road — with Skid Steer help from Lock Gessner and Trevor Taylor; Steve Harris of Harris Hauling and Sergio Barragan of major League Trucking.
The truckers donated time and fuel to deliver 10 loads of gravel for the road, which was donated by PaveCo.
Four Columbia Falls High School Art students recently drew the posters for the market and Ellis said the next step is to put up a jack fence around the property.
The market is every Thursday night 5 to 8 p.m. starting May 16 and running through Sept. 26 in the field adjacent to St. Richard Catholic Church.
It has more than 100 vendors signed up for the upcoming season. It features live music, food trucks, fresh produce, arts and crafts, educational displays and adult beverages, like beer, wine and other spirits courtesy of Josephine’s Speakeasy.
