Hey Friends,
Downtown Sherman’s Friday nights just got a big upgrade. Moonlight Market drew such a crowd that a street is closing to give everyone more room to shop, sip, and stroll. 🌙
We’ve also got a weekend packed with classic cars, adoptable dogs, a fish fry, and a spooky-season art show. Plus a brand-new townhome near downtown, the biggest mistake I see buyers make, and my favorite spot for a little self-care.
Here’s What We’re Connecting You to This Week!
✅ Moonlight Market Is Getting More Room Downtown
✅ Moonlight Market, Hot Rods & a Macabre Art Night
✅ Deal of the Week: A Never-Lived-In Townhome
✅ The Biggest Home Buying Mistake in Sherman
✅ Business Spotlight: Amanda’s Favorite Nail Spot, Just Peachy
Moonlight Market Is Getting More Room Downtown 🌙
Sherman’s Moonlight Market is officially growing up. After bigger-than-expected crowds, TxDOT approved a street closure along Houston Street during Market Fridays to create more space and keep visitors safe.
The market was started by a few downtown business owners who wanted to bring more of us downtown, and it’s inspired by the small evening markets you’d find in Italy. Judging by the crowds, it worked. 🇮🇹
What you’ll find on Market Fridays:
🛍 Local vendors and makers
🎶 Live music
🍷 Drinks for the grown-ups
🧒 Family-friendly activities
Mark your calendar: Markets run every other Friday through the first Friday in November. That means just three left: this Friday, October 9, then October 23 and November 6.
Quick tip: With the street closed, plan a short detour if you’re driving through downtown that evening. Park a block or two away and enjoy the walk in. 🚶♀️
Now we want to hear from you! 🌙 Have you been to Moonlight Market yet? Hit reply and tell us your favorite vendor. We may shout them out in an upcoming issue!
