  • Vendors are again filling the century-old Delta County market with baked goods, garden produce, arts and crafts, underscoring its role as a longstanding local tradition.
  • Ludington Street construction will soon move directly in front of the market, but city officials said the project will not disrupt operations because parking remains available behind the pavilion and along nearby streets.
