Every second and fourth Saturday of the month from 8 a.m.-1 p.m. Green Spot, a healthy convenient store and biodiesel gas station at 702 N.

Bruce Bagelman, owner of Green Spot and one of the market organizers, says that vendors are particularly interested in this market because people come to buy.
