This year’s market features 20 food vendors offering everything from barbecue, pizza and kettle corn to ice cream, baked goods, lumpia, root beer floats, funnel cakes and more.
Live music will add to the festive atmosphere throughout the weekend:

Several enhancements have been added this year, including more outdoor toilets throughout the park, expanded seating areas and additional trash receptacles.
“We want the Mother’s Day Market to be a fun, welcoming experience for everyone,” said Stacy Wullschleger, one of the event organizers. “Whether you’re shopping for the perfect gift, enjoying lunch from one of our food vendors or simply spending time together, we want families to feel at home in the park and enjoy everything the Market has to offer.”
The celebration continues Sunday with the annual Mother’s Day Chicken Barbecue at the Helvering Center from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Meals include half a chicken, baked potato, baked beans, coleslaw and a roll for $15. Dine-in, delivery and carryout options are available by calling 785-713-9866.
