My first visit to Gray Apple Market was for their Holiday Maker's Market the first weekend of…read moreNovember, and let me tell you -- it was Pinterest-level festive. The event promised 75+ local small businesses, food vendors, kids' activities, and "lots of holiday cheer," and that was spot-on. I went on Sunday morning, bright and early at 8:30 a.m. Parking along the road behind their home store? Gone. I ended up parking at the nearby elementary school and keeping my eyes peeled for the shuttle they mentioned. Either it was hiding or I completely missed it, because I never saw it. So, I walked. About 13 minutes along a busy road with no sidewalk -- fine for me as a solo adult, but not ideal for families with little ones. Once I arrived, though? Beautiful. The morning was crisp, the sun was out, holiday music was playing through speakers, and the whole place just felt like the start of Christmas shopping season. Vendors were spread out enough that it didn't feel cramped, and most were selling genuinely high-quality, handcrafted pieces -- a nice break from the sea of 3D-printed knickknacks I've seen at summer festivals. That said... I didn't buy a thing. Prices were higher than I was willing to pay, both from vendors and from Gray Apple's own shop. For example, I saw a 12" LED lighted orb priced at $100 -- and the tag literally said "MADE IN CHINA." A quick barcode scan later showed it online for half that. Convenience is one thing, but that's a hard markup to justify. For me, this market was more about the experience -- browsing, sipping something warm, chatting with artisans, and soaking up the vibe. Totally worth it for that. But when it comes to spending, I'm a "would I rather use this money for food or an adventure?" kind of shopper, and on this day, nothing passed the test. The only thing missing to round out the cozy holiday magic? A bonfire! They had propane heaters near the food trucks, but a big communal fire pit would've been the perfect finishing touch. Maybe next year. So yes -- a once-and-done visit for me. A gorgeous market full of talent and holiday spirit, but not my go-to for actual purchases. Still, I left in a great mood -- and with my wallet fully intact, which is its own kind of Christmas miracle.

Wow. For about three years in a row, I've been visiting this market. After this year, I will not…read morereturn. Maybe it's the new location and they expand it too quickly. When I got here, they directed me to park in a certain spot, which is fine. It seemed a little unsafe walking to the actual market, but I was able to deal. When I got to my car to leave, I was completely parked in all directions. I had my baby nephew with me l and I was very anxious about being able to stay on schedule. I could see around me other people were experiencing the same things and they were awaiting help so I just commiserated with them. I was lucky because some of the people who parked me in came and I was to move from my parking spot, I can't say the same for my counterparts. Because parking was on land that was at a stoop angle. It was clear to see that the rows in the front of the parking lot were being attended to and being moved out when the rows in the back were essentially neglected. I'm writing this while sitting in my car still waiting to leave from being parked in and waiting to get out of the parking lot I've I've been waiting for over an hour and a half about to be two hours. I called my sister and told her not to come the following day with her children because she would be stuck in a similar situation. I wouldn't have gotten out of my car and asked for someone to let me through/merge. I would still be in line waiting to leave. I know most of the families who have open their windows and shouted to me that they have been waiting a similar amount of time. Most of us all have kids in the car with. Calls to the actual market, go unanswered and forward it to voicemail. With resolution insight. Adding: I was in the parking lot from 11:30 till 2. I called customer service with no answer and left a voicemail. I when I finally made it out of my row and in the "main traffic" I believe I would have been suck for much longer in the passenger in the car in front of me didn't get out and direct traffic. As I stated the traffic worker were only managing the front rows, while the back rows sat for hours. Thankfully, this women took action and help some of us move forward! It is disappointing because this was a unique event with thoughtful and trendy vendors but the parking experience outweighed any of the fun from that day. I think it is important to note it took almost an 45 minute drive to get to the event in the 1st place. It was hike, which I only made expecting to have a wonderful experience.
