PUTNAM — With summertime in full swing, the Putnam Peddler’s Market will return  to  its  new  location, the  Putnam  Bank  parking  lot  at  40  Main  St. Its from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 17.

This month’s Market will include dozens of artisan vendors, live music and family-friendly entertainment. Bring your lawn chairs and your family and enjoy a day of fun.

The goal of the Putnam Peddler’s Market is to bring the creative and festive atmosphere of big city markets to the small town setting of the quaint, yet progressive town of Putnam. This month’s vendors live up to the market’s goal of creating an affordable, yet upscale marketplace.

Beginning at 11:30 am, the Market will feature the first of two live, local music performances as Putnam’s Corey Cyr hits the Putnam Peddler’s Market stage, followed by Trevor May of Danielson at 1:30 p.m.

The July Market will also feature a non-profit partner, the Wyndham Land Trust. This organization’s mission is to conserve the natural resources of northeastern Connecticut - the water courses, swamps, woodlands, and open spaces, the plant and animal life therein, and the scenic natural and historic sites - all of which are very much a part of the character and beauty of all communities here.

The markets are held the third Sunday of every month, through September and Columbus Day weekend in October. For more information or if you are interested in becoming a vendor, please visit www.putnampeddlersmarket.com.
