It’s hard to put into words just how special the Market weekend was.
I want to take a moment to sincerely thank every single person who came out to support the very first Dows Market on Main. Whether you shopped, visited, shared the event, or simply stopped by to see what it was all about - you helped make this market something truly meaningful.
The turnout, the energy, and the sense of community were incredible.
A Community That Shows Up
What made this event so special wasn’t just the shopping, it was the people.
Neighbors catching up. Friends bringing friends. Conversations happening between booths. Smiles, laughter, and genuine connection everywhere you turned.
This is exactly what we hoped the Dows Market on Main could be...a space where community and creativity come together.
And you made that happen.
Grateful for Our Amazing Vendors
We were beyond lucky to have such a talented and diverse group of vendors.
From handmade goods and boutique clothing to delicious food and unique finds, each vendor brought something special to the market. The time, creativity, and heart poured into every booth did not go unnoticed. Check back often, as we will be doing our best to let you know where you can continue to find these talented vendors all year long!
These small businesses are the heart of events like this, and your support of them truly matters.
A Special Thank You to Hayley

A heartfelt thank you goes to my cohost, Hayley, of hayleycodesigns.com
This event would not have come together the way it did without her time, effort, and dedication behind the scenes. From planning to organizing to making sure everything ran smoothly - she played such an essential role in bringing this vision to life. If you ask her, she probably won't take all the credit she deserves, but believe me: She Deserves It!
I’m so grateful to have had her as a partner in this.
Why Supporting Small Matters
When you shop at events like the Dows Market on Main, you’re doing more than making a purchase.
You’re supporting:
- local families
- creative dreams
- small business growth
- handmade craftsmanship
- your own community
That kind of support has a ripple effect, and we saw it in full force this weekend.
This Is Just the Beginning
If this first market was any indication, something really special is growing here.
We are so excited about what’s ahead and hope to continue bringing you more opportunities to shop small, connect, and enjoy everything our local community has to offer.
Thank You
From the bottom of our hearts...thank you.
Thank you for showing up.
Thank you for supporting.
Thank you for being part of something new.
We are looking forward to doing it again next April!
