Congratulations on the inaugural festive opening of the Thursday Nights Market Place event on Franklin St not far from the Warner Theatre on Main St! After ushering at the Theatre(and The Sharon Playhouse in CT) for many years, I have gotten to know a few local faces (including my rather large family on my mom's Coury side who lived there for decades) and it's a great feeling to see the greater show we're all part of when people can mingle and enjoy a summer evening with some inspiration, good food available from baked goods to hot dishes, fresh produce, crafts, jazzy items and live music.
