Considering this, and the ongoing Hancock Road Annexation Project, we've decided to keep the Wonder Lake Farmer and Makers Market at 4444 Thompson Road for the 2026 season. We'll revisit this decision for 2027, but for now, we're excited to continue our journey together at this beloved spot. Thank you for your unwavering support of our market! 🌿🛍️
