The People's Market is open and running on Mon, Wed, Fri. and Sat. from 11-6pm and on Sundays from 12-5. Tyler Engels is running it during the days with a tag team coming in at 2 or 3 to finish up the day. At this point it is Jay, Carol (myself) or Ashley Engels. We have had a few vendors beginning to work and it has gone well. New potential vendors and artisans are coming in on a regular basis. The shelves are filling up and we are getting a nice variety of handmade items in at the market. We have had sales of pottery, alpaca stuffed animals, socks, beer marinades, jewelry, antiques, yarn and cards. The word is getting out there. We have advertised in The shopper, the TCAT and the Lansing Star did a nice article on the new "People's Market" in Lansing. We are continuing to advertise and plan a Grand Opening as well as joining the Chamber of Commerce. 
Jay's accounting business is getting settled in and is officially set up for business as we move and organize his clients/files to the new location. People have been asking about both businesses and the vendors as well. An artisan was there just the other day (working for a few hours) and spoke to people who knew people who were familiar with her work. There is networking going on and people are interested! we are just adding fresh "Kathy's Granola" from the Finger Lakes Granola Company on our very own...Van Ostrand Rd. Lansing New York! If we support each other, buy from each other and stick together we will do great things! Lansing is a great place to live and grow a business...people will see! Stay tuned. I will be adding a running list of vendors and new artisans regularly now.
