HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — On Sunday, MidCity ended its final market with the second annual "Holiday Market" at The Camp. All sorts of vendors were there, from food trucks to homemade toy tents.
Organizers say there were seventy-five vendors. That's about fifty more vendors compared to last year. Social distancing and wearing masks were required.
Organizers also say they are thrilled to share more love for vendors during such a challenging year.
"These artisans, makers, growers, farmers; they've really been limited with their sales. So, this is a great opportunity for us to show how we want to support local. Supporting local is really the best thing we can do for our community," says MidCity Marketing & Property Activation, Lindsey Pattillo Keane.
Organizers say they received at least three hundred vendor requests this year.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has a plethora of information on how to protect yourself and other from the coronavirus.
The virus can easily spread from person to person, so the CDC recommends you stay at least 6-feet apart from people not in your household. The virus is spread through respiratory droplets that are produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, breaths or talks, according to the CDC. Because of this, the CDC recommends you wear a cloth facemask when around others and in public.
Additionally, the CDC recommends that you frequently wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
Symptoms to look out for include fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, a sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting and diarrhea, according to the CDC.
