Those of us at the Chattanooga Market appreciate Mr. Kent's comments and agree that the Chattanooga Market can become a jewel for the city. It has been a catalyst for growth on the Southside and it's potential is still being realized.

With the recent change in ownership, we feel that the Chattanooga Market is on the right path to becoming a primary source for local produce and arts as well as serving as a cultural meeting place for the city and surrounding area.

The 2008 season begins on April 27th and runs though the Holiday Market in early December.
