This year’s ornament was designed by Chamber Executive Tim Collins in close collaboration with Patrick County High School Principal, Trey Cox. Cox, who also serves on the board of the Chamber of Commerce, said, “The use of the traditional cougar logo will allow more people to identify immediately with the design.”

The market meeting for the Stuart Farmers Market will be Friday February 7th at 11 AM at the Stuart Town office on Patrick Avenue. We will discuss any new rules or regulations and assign booth spaces.
As previous years~ past vendors have seniority to stay with their location or move to an available location. We are looking to have another full house, so you need to pay to reserve your spot at the meeting or shortly after. Fees will not increase.
Please share with anyone who may be interested in vending at our market. Also please come with ideas for our events calendar. I am looking over this past years. What worked and what didn't and trying to find new ones.
If you can't make the meeting, please let myself or Billy know. You may call the town office at 694-3811
Thank you
