to use in a night market in Greensburg.
She went to the city to work on a plan and they agreed
to shut down the block behind the courthouse for the
event.
The first Night Market was held in May. The weather forecast
that night called for a downpour, Hickey said, causing
some vendors to cancel, but an impressive number of people
still showed up to see what it was all about.
The second market in June featured Westmoreland County
vendors including Pleasant Lane Farm Honey, from Latrobe,
Greensburg-based Serendipity Dip Mixes and Sarver’s Hill
Organic Farm, based out of Greensburg, selling fresh vegetables
and fruits.
Other vendors included Hunt and Gather Style Design
Studio, out of Export, selling jewelry and home design
items, Krafts by Kellianne, based in Greensburg and selling
handmade wooden crafts, and Greensburg-based Betty Jane
Natural Soaps.
Other vendors came from outside of the county, including
Indiana County-based Leap’s Farm, selling fresh ground
flour and cornmeal, and Earth Below Kombucha, based in
Emporium, Cameron County, who posted on their Facebook
page after the June event, “Greensburg! You all killed it last
night! The Night Market was incredible and almost a total
sell out!”
Mike Little, of Latrobe-based Chaganra Farm, is from
Greensburg. He and his wife sell pastured pork and poultry
and 100 percent grass-fed beef in addition to chicken and
duck eggs at the Night Market.
“I was at the first one and the weather was terrible but people
still showed up,” he said. “It was really nice and really
well-attended. I think Greensburg has an underground network
of foodies that people don’t realize are floating around,
which is good for us.”
Although they travel to a number of farmer’s markets
throughout the area, Little said, they appreciate the timing
in particular as full-time working farmers because it allows
them to have a full day of productivity before going to the
market to the sell.
He also appreciates that the organizers are prioritizing
artisans and producers of locally-made goods over vendors
representing national companies.
The July Night Market was the last one scheduled for the
area behind the courthouse. Beginning in August, the location
moves to The Westmoreland Museum of Art for events
on Aug. 28, Sept. 25 and Oct. 23.
Hickey said she hopes the Night Market will become a
yearly occurrence.
“We definitely hope to do it next year,” she said. “People
are already asking to do it weekly and I don’t think that will
happen, but we’ll see. We just want to have an event that’s a
little different from what we have in our area.”
