The Fort Frances Business Improvement Association's Market Thursdays is attracting the interest of a few artisans.Jocelyn Matheson, a maker of homemade jewelry, was among the first to take advantage of the new summertime Market.
"It's a really good opportunity for local artists to showcase," says Matheson. "It's been a lot of fun. There's a real good sense of community. People are stopping and they're interested in what we're doing. It's been really great."
Portrait artist Lindsay Joy Hamilton says it's a great venue for local artisans.
"It's right downtown. Lots of exposure. Lots of great crafts and painters," says Hamilton. "It would be really nice to see all of the talent Fort Frances outside sharing their gifts with us."
It's the first year for the Markets that will run every Thursday outside the Fort Frances Museum.
