Covenant House celebrates Eastern Market opening

On Saturday, August 25, join the Artisans as they celebrate the opening of the new Eastern Market building on the Hine Jr. High School side of 7th St.

After the tragic Market fire in May, times have been difficult for all of the art, craft, antique and produce vendors. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of the market managers, community leaders and dedicated market "regulars", all EM vendors are looking forward to the opening of the temporary Market building located directly across from the South Hall on the Hine School lot.

To those who came out and visited with us, picked up a special gift or made a donation this summer - THANK YOU! Your support has kept our youth's spirits high, and raised their hopes for success. It is really important that the Artisans receive positive feedback and a hands-on entrepreneurial experience, and thanks to your support, they haven't missed a beat.

DC Mayor Adrian Fenty will be there, along with numerous civic leaders and community members - and all of your favorite vendors will be back in business!

We hope to see you on Saturday August 25 at 10:00 AM!
