Small Business displays will be set up in the grassy lot across Franklin Street from Bloomfield Manufacturing.  Businesses can pay their fee to the market manager that evening.

A hilarious play about a very bad, but lovable doggy “Sylvia” – a story about a man’s relationship with one of those magical animals who so often find us just when we are at a crossroads in life. Sylvia the dog is dramatized by having the adopted dog played by an actress. Some adult doggy behavior and language.
