Summary
Tuesday marked the Hollidaysburg farmers market’s second week, with manager Melanie Ramsey saying the event again centered on local agriculture, baking and handmade goods.
Four-hour weekly markets have also opened for the season in Altoona and Bedford, bringing local farms, restaurants and shops into their downtowns once a week.
Regular vendors such as Rispoli’s Produce and Doug’s Dogs said steady menus and repeat appearances help keep customers returning year after year.
Shoppers including families and young adults said the market’s draw is its mix of homemade products, food trucks and a familiar community gathering spot.
That community focus has become part of the market’s identity, with vendors and customers describing it as both a business outlet and a weekly social hub.
