The fourth annual Mother’s Day Country Girls Market took place this past weekend, with this year marking the first time the event expanded to two days.
Approximately 650 shoppers attended Friday evening, while nearly 1,400 came through on Saturday. In addition to vendors and crafters, visitors enjoyed entertainment, food trucks and local services including on-the-spot manicures, tattoos, piercings and photographs. Make-your-own flower bouquets and mocktails were also available. Tails of Freedom Rescue was selected as the charity recipient for the gate proceeds and raised $6,000, funds that come at a crucial time after the rescue took in 106 animals during April. Looking ahead, Country Girls will host a market on May 29 during the Spring in Stonewall celebration, as well as a Canada Day Night Market on July 1 in Stonewall during Quarry Days.
