When the market returns on Saturday, July 11, pandemic restrictions will be eased consistent with Phase 4 guidelines. The state entered a new phase of the Restore Illinois pandemic recovery plan on June 26. 

Capacity for concurrent shoppers will increase from 30 to 50 and children of all ages will be admitted as long as the market is below customer capacity, according to Market Manager Kate Duff. 

Other restrictions will continue, including mandatory face coverings for patrons and vendors and hand washing before entering. Customers are not allowed to touch items prior to purchase. 

Payment is by credit/debit or exact cash only. No change will be provided. 

Duff is encouraging market customers to place orders in advance and take advantage of the curbside pickup service the village is offering. To order in advance, visit the village website to find links to vendors.
