The McKinney Center will host the June “Mini” Market on Friday, June 11 from 12 p.m. through 6 p.m. and June 12 from 10 a.m. through 6 p.m. Shane’s Place will offer lunch and dinner options both days.
The event is open to the public with a suggested donation of $1 per person for entrance. The building and parking are ADA accessible.
“The June market will feature even more crafters, artists, and makers,” stated McKinney Center Director Theresa Hammons. “As our region’s COVID numbers are lowering and restrictions are loosening, the McKinney Center has added more vendors indoors and outdoors to give customers more shopping options.”

McKinney Center Director Theresa Hammons designed McKinney “Mini” Markets as a smaller, safer venue providing an opportunity for artists to showcase their work, and for patrons to peruse and shop from area artisans and crafters in a socially distanced environment.
The market will adhere to the latest guidelines for safety in both inside and outside venues. Extra cleaning measures are in place, and attendance in the building will be monitored and kept below half-capacity throughout the day.
For more information on this or upcoming markets, please call the McKinney Center at 423.753.0562.
