'Full variety': Regina Farmers' Market going big for month of December

For the month of December, the Regina Farmers’ Market is hosting the biggest indoor market in its nearly 50-year history.

Located in and around the Co-Operators Centre, around 50 vendors are located throughout the halls.

“There’s lots of people through the space and it’s attracted more vendors for us. It’s nice to offer the public a full variety of products,” Holly Laird, the executive director of the Regina Farmers’ Market said.

On Saturday, while the market was on, many hockey games were being played at the centre, which gave vendors added exposure from families and fans in the building.
