The 2015 Holiday Market took place on November 6–8 at the Exchange Center at Expo Square and boasted 122 merchants. We sold a total of 4,450 tickets throughout the weekend, with more than 200 teachers and military personnel taking advantage of free admission on Saturday. More than 100 patrons attended Christmas and Croissants, and we had a record-breaking year for Cookies with the Clauses. Approximately 200 children met Santa and had their picture taken.

Holiday Market Chair Brooke Sturdivant states, “We are sure this year was record-breaking, but more than anything, we had a blast planning, organizing, and putting on this event for such worthy community programs! We hope to put as much money back into the community as possible!”
