Good Hart General Store during

Good Hart Market Days

Good Hart Market Days Begins Saturday June 26

Saturday, June 26 marks the beginning of the 2010 Good Hart Market Days, held each Saturday throughout color season in downtown Good Hart.  This Saturday will feature Dave Menefee on guitar.

Market Days began in 2009 and was the idea of Good Hart General Store owner, Carolyn Sutherland, as a tribute to her childhood memories of the Royal Oak Farmers Market.  The event is held in Sutherland’s yard next to the Good Hart General Store every Saturday rain or shine, 2-5:30 pm.  There is no cost to participate or to attend.

This year’s event has already confirmed several area vendors including local produce from Dan Truman, Native American quill work by Allie Maldonado, hand blown glass by Lynn Dinning, original pottery by Lisa Nicol, heirloom produce and organic yarns by Thimbleberry Farm, photography by Dark Pony Productions, and local produce by Bliss Gardens Farm & Kitchen. For a complete listing of participating vendors and special events, please visit the Good Hart General Store website. 

Guests of the event can expect the best in local farmers, artists, producers, and artisans paired with hot dogs on the grill, occasional live music, book signings and workshops.

Music this summer includes the John Driscoll Ensemble, Dr. Good Hart’s Home Remedy, and Dave Menefeee. 

Good Hart is located along the famous Tunnel of Trees (M-119), 14 miles north of Harbor Springs and 7 miles south of Cross Village.
