YLNI is celebrating the eighth year of the Barr Street Market in 2012! YLNI is gearing up for the next season, which runs July 7th through September 15th.  The market offers fresh and unique local produce, plants, meats, baked goods and homemade crafts in a cultural setting.The Barr Street Market is a producer-only market, meaning that their vendors personally make or grow the products they sell. Every vendor is local, coming from Allen or surrounding counties. Live music and children’s activities add to the experience. Between 500 and 700 people attend the market each week.
