Weencourage more vendors to joinand everyone to spread theword. One can get a massage,tech help, buy a compressor,fishing gear, garden furniture,soil, a silly hat or a loaf ofbread. We could expound butthe best way to find out aboutthis market is just drop in andsee what’s up, as it continuallychanges.You can come on our newly paved road or by boat along the lagoonand turn in at the Spectarte canal or even the old ferry landingwhich is but yards away. The Gallery in itself is a worthwhile visitand promotes Belizean Art and learning workshops.
