(Atlantic, Iowa) – A reminder from KJAN that the Sweetheart Market – another Produce in the Park event – takes place Saturday, February 8 from 10am-1pm at the Nishna Valley Family YMCA in Atlantic. Market Manager Ciara Hoegh says the theme for this year’s Sweetheart Market is appropriately entitled “Bee Mine, Honey!”

Local vegetables, honey, meats, eggs, baked goods, Kringles and desserts, along with home made soups, candles, home decor and gifts will be available, in addition to everything you need to know about honey how it’s made, including products with bees wax.

The vendor with bees wax products is Woodland Wildflower Apiary, whose farm is north of Atlantic. There are more than 30 vendors who will set-up their tables in the YMCA gym. There are some other, first-time vendors at the market, as well.

The Sweetheart Market features face-painting for kids, all-you-can-eat pancakes, sausage and drinks in the rear of the gym by the Pancake Man. The cost for the meal is $8 per adult and $5 per child (Under the age of 18). There is other food available for you to take home, as well.

Homemade loaves of sourdough bread will be available at the Sweetheart Market, but get there early as they are in limited supply!
