The Cornwall Market hosted various local vendors on July 6 and 7. Running from 11 am to 3 pm, the market offers a unique shopping experience one weekend each month until the holiday season.
One local vendor, Sammy Koch of SammyK Crochet Corner, displayed a colourful booth brimming with handmade plushies. “I crochet, and I started pushing my creations when I got laid off during the pandemic. I fell in love with it,” said Koch. Inspired by anime and cute characters, her creations range from smaller pieces to larger projects.
“It’s relaxing. When I come home from a stressful day, crocheting just takes my stress away,” Koch shared. Reflecting on her first year participating in the markets, she added, “I’ve had a great time and enjoyed all the fun. I’ve had some good opportunities just from meeting people here.”
The next weekend market is scheduled for August 3 and 4 at the Cornwall Square.
