A Friendly Note About Pets at the Market
By Sandy Lawler
I love my dog. Everyone that knows him calls him Happy Jack… the happiest 70lbs of black and brown pup around. I take him to the shore, dog parks, walk him all over... but there are just some spots I don’t take him. I don’t take him to crowded places and events like the Baltimore Farmers’ Market & Bazaar. It’s too crowded, and I do not want to stress him out and set him up for an incident that could hurt someone or him.
So as a reminder, pets are not allowed at the Baltimore Farmers' Market & Bazaar, and it is a Baltimore City Health Department ticketable offense of up to $1,000.00!
Thank you for your cooperation.
NO ANIMALS are allowed at the market and bazaar (per Baltimore City Health Department Rules and Regulations).
The Baltimore Farmers’ Market & Bazaar is a smoke-free zone. The Baltimore Office of Promotion & The Art and the Baltimore City Health Department declared the market tobacco free effective Sunday, April 10, 2011.
