But the market also offers baked goods, free range eggs, arts and crafts and items like soap, shampoo, and shampoo bars from goat’s milk.

There’s also Walnut Hill-made benches, tables and more from sycamore, oak, walnut and cedar.

Concessions are also available, including all-beef hotdogs, sno-cones, popcorn, cold sodas and bottled water.

The Market at Saint Monica’s will be held from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. at the church, located at 699 South Highway 95A in Cantonment.

Also Saturday, the Recycled Treasure Shop at the church will hold a “Name Your Price” clearance sale. Everything must go to make room for new items, and any reasonable offer will be accepted for items between 9 a.m. and noon.
