SNAP customers, stop by the Market Booth for a fun giveaway! We have a new vendor today: My name is Diane and I love caramel! My business is called Mythical Caramels because my candy is the stuff of legends. We make classic flavors like vanilla and salted caramel, as well as flavors like Sriracha, mocha, and cherry lemonade, just to name a few. I have bags of soft chewy caramels (which are dental-work friendly!) and jars of caramels sauces, also in various flavors. I am looking forward to getting to know the Bremerton Market and community! Today’s musician: “Someone” is a solo artist that started writing & preforming music in 2012 from Milwaukee WI. Influenced by many 60s bands and pop punk bands, “Someone” has 3 original albums & plays covers spanning from the 1950’s through present day. Most recently in June of 2021 the lone member of “Someone” (Ryan Sellers) relocated from WI to Puyallup, WA.  Ryan will be playing for tips so be sure to bring cash to reward him for his talents and his time!

Plus, the League of Women Voters of Kitsap County will be sharing information and will have voter registration paperwork again this week. In case you missed it last week: In following with the updated Washington state guidelines, our market is “opening back up”. When you visit today, you will no longer see caution tape surrounding the market footprint (yay!), there will no longer just be two entrances (yay!), and you are welcome to bring a chair, eat a snack, and enjoy being around your community (yay! yay! yay!). We’re excited to be getting back to normal. However, we’re still encouraging unvaccinated individuals to continue wearing masks and to physically distance while at the market. And of course, anyone who feels more comfortable wearing a mask is welcome to do so. Please note: some vendors may not feel comfortable doing business with those who are unmasked and will display a sign stating that a mask is required at their booth. You may be asking “what about music?” Well, with a rough 2020 season, we did not budget for musicians this year. So, if you know of any musicians who would like to busk, please have them email the market manager at manager@bremertonmarket.com We would also love more hot food vendors!
