Frederick Holiday Market draws shoppers to support local businesses

Despite the fog in downtown Frederick on Sunday morning, dozens of people walked along Carroll Creek Park to browse at the first Frederick Holiday Market. Local vendors and businesses from in and out of Frederick County sold a vast range of goods, including handmade products, art, food for people and for pets, jewelry and wreaths. More than 90 were expected. They drew attendees in holiday-themed attire. Children also could get free photos with Santa Claus toward one end of the park.
