KANNAPOLIS — From Nov. 24-26, the city of Kannapolis organized its very own “Holiday Market” at the city hall building to get people prepared for all of their upcoming holiday shopping this year.
Local vendors set up pop-up shops to showcase their offerings as potential gifts: clothes, preservatives, candles, soap, jewelry, decorations, candy, baked goods and original artwork.
The friendly atmosphere was the perfect place to explore everything that local business owners have to share with residents. The vendors were cheerful, but hard at work to ensure that customers were able to find exactly what they were looking for.
