The opening of the Ste. Rose Farmer's Market originally scheduled for this Thursday has been postponed.
The market is now set to open next Thursday, August 25th, at Molgat Park in Ste. Rose du Lac and will run every Thursday from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. until September 8th.
Marie Sorlie, recreation director for the Municipality of Ste. Rose and the R.M. of Lakeshore, says that it will most likely be extended to September 15th due to the late start.
She also says that there are many reasons behind the postponement.
"There's actually only one vendor that has signed up for it and according to public health, we have to have those in ahead of time... The market coordinator is actually sick with COVID, so not available to be there to coordinate the market this Thursday," she adds.
She points to the late gardens and so-called crazy season they've had as to why they haven't had more vendors sign up.
Anyone interested in selling produce at the farmer's market is being asked to call or text Marie at 204-648-4797 or email her at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
They must also pay a fee of $10 per table they wish to reserve.
