The first wave of eager shoppers arrived at the Ag-Rec Centre on Friday afternoon to try and make a dent in their holiday shopping lists at the Very Merry Mango Market.
This holiday-themed market includes more than 100 local vendors, in addition to a lineup of food trucks, and even a visit from some special guests.
For a few hours each day, kids will be able to snag some one-on-one time with the big man himself at the Santa station.
Anyone wanting to stop by the market can do so from 4 to 9 p.m. on Nov. 29, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Nov. 30, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Dec. 1.
The price of admission is $5 per day or $8 for a full weekend pass, with half of the admission funds going to the Archway Food Bank. Children aged 12 or less can get in for free.
Tickets and more information are available at www.themangomarket.ca/verymerry.
