The St. Charles Riverwalk Market is a fundraiser held at the Foundry Art Centre that runs from April 15 to Nov. 25 from 7:30 a.m to 1 p.m every Saturday, with special events along the way like the Fall Festival on Oct. 21 and the Christmas Market ending the season on Nov. 25.
The fundraiser is all volunteer work through the St. Charles Lions Club, managed by co-managers Lisa Davis and Stacey Enders. The volunteer work allows them to raise money for different organizations such as scholarships for Lewis and Clark, Shop with a Cop and Reach St. Charles.
To be a vendor one must make, bake or grow items sold. It’s $20 per 12 by 12 spot each Saturday. This has attracted many vendors from bakers and makers that make their way on TV to students and staff members at FHN.
“We feel our vendors are our family, our extended family,” Enders said.
