Market Days at the Lake Placid Historical Society Depot Museum was a success Saturday, May 16, as the community welcomed the return of Sugar Express to Lake Placid.
There were 338 passengers on board the train, and many made their way through the museum and market during their visit. The day included live entertainment by Barney and Nancy Miesse, a variety of vendors, and plenty of activity around the Depot.
Vendors offered a little bit of everything, including locally made smoked fish dip, handmade bags, crocheted items, exotic snacks, antiques and more. It was a nice mix of local flavor, handmade goods and interesting finds.
The Lake Placid Historical Society thanks all of the vendors who participated, the volunteers who helped at the museum, and Sylvia Marine, who coordinated the vendors for the event.
Market Days is a good example of what happens when the train, the museum, local vendors and volunteers all come together. It brings people downtown, gives visitors something extra to enjoy, and helps showcase Lake Placid in a simple, welcoming way.
Market Days will return Saturday, May 30, when Sugar Express makes its next visit to Lake Placid.
