The Downtown Jamestown Development Corporation has announced new operating hours for the weekly Downtown Jamestown Winter Market.
The market will remain open every Thursday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. through Jan. 31.
"The market is going great but many downtown employees that would frequent the summer market are unable to attend during the evening hours," said Tiffani Conti, DJDC special projects manager. "We worked with the vendors and the suggestions we were receiving to decide on a new hours favorable to the community. We are all excited about the change and look forward to more community members continuing to have access to fresh, locally grown produce and handmade artisan products through the winter months."
