We dedicate this weeks' market to our dear friend and long-time vendor, Bill Tilghman, affectionately known as "Wild Bill Tilghman". What fun we had when Bill was around the market. He had a wonderful sense of humor and a store of tales, tall and otherwise! Our market will go on, but it will never be the same without Wild Bill among us. We will miss him enormously. There will be a memorial table at the market Saturday, as we pay our respects to our friend. Joyce, Bill's wife, Bill, Jr. and Bill's granddaughter, Anna will be with us between 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. for Bill's customers, friends and fellow vendors to greet and chat with the family. There will be a guest book that all may sign and leave a memory.
