A day centered on coloring and creativity. Unwind with color and explore your artistic side in a relaxed, welcoming setting.

Shop the Mid-County Farmers & Crafters Market inside Central Mall between TJ Max and Target. This twice-monthly market is fully indoors, so browsing stays comfortable no matter the weather. Explore around 50 local small business vendors, discover new shops throughout the mall, and enjoy lunch at places like Cici’s Pizza or Central Seafood. Each booth purchase earns an entry for a gift basket filled with items from nearly all participating vendors. Vendor notice: for DNCE markets, the only authorized contact for booth information is Dick Cox, and anyone else requesting payment is a scammer.
