Parking and admission are free Returning vendor Leslie Miles of Leslie’s Luscious Treats is excited to be back. Her gourmet desserts ranging from cookies and brownies to mini cakes and banana pudding cake cups are as beautiful as they are tasty.

“Last year was my first year. It was really an awesome experience,” she said. “It made me believe I can handle big markets and events. I can’t wait to improve this year.”

New to the market this year is Tracy City’s Britni Banta, owner of Eclectic Mama Co. She specializes in beautifully handmade, unique laser cut and engraved designs. Made primarily from wood, her creations include ornaments, earrings, and plaques. She also makes leather hat patches and notebooks as well as teacher gifts and office supplies.

“I love every single chance to get to be with other creators,” Banta said. “It’s all about the community of small shops sharing what they have with others like them. We live in such a special and unique placed filled with folks that have so much talent.”

This year’s market will also include Tennessee South Cumberland Chamber of Commerce’s 2nd Annual Business Expo featuring local businesses and organizations who make up the chamber, which sponsors the market.

Other major sponsors include the Town of Monteagle, Sequachee Valley Electric Cooperative (SVEC), Citizens Tri-County Bank, Lodge Cast Iron, Ben Lomand Connect, Southern Tennessee Regional Health System, Sequachee Valley Propane, and Summerfield Market.
