From Friday, September 11, through Sunday, September 13, the Marietta Marketplace became a temporary fixture in the town\u2019s historic center, the Armory Square, during the Sternwheel festival.<\/p>\n

Around twenty booths and tents covered the square as shoppers mixed and mingled. This year\u2019s festival weekend was on the rainy side, but Marietta\u2019s finest artisans didn\u2019t let the weather get in the way of selling their wares.<\/p>\n

Cristie Thomas, a Parkersburg local, was excited to be a featured vendor this weekend. The tables at her booth, The Crafted Baby, were filled to the brim with what she described as \u201cmodern, adorable and affordable baby goods.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thomas, who is also a staff member at Marietta College, enjoys sharing her passion with the community. The Crafted Baby is a regular at the Marietta Marketplace.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve participated in every one this summer so far. The Marketplace is always right here on the Armory lawn. It happens once a month, usually on a Saturday from about 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brooke Stanley, a junior psychology major at Marietta College and another local of Parkersburg, W.Va, filled The Marcolian<\/em> in on what the Marketplace is all about.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll kinds of local artists and crafters set up booths, it\u2019s really cool,\u201d Stanley said.<\/p>\n

So if you didn\u2019t have the chance to stop by last weekend there\u2019s no need to fear, though the next time the \u201cpop-up flea of the MOV\u201d returns to the Armory has not yet been announced. Visit their website at http:\/\/mariettamarketplace.com\/ for future updates.\r\n\t
