Come to the 1st Ever “Made by RRC” Market
It’s that time of year! Time for RRC’s 4th Farmers’ (and Makers) Market! But, this time around the market is going to be done a bit differently.
There are so many amazing local vendors that have connections to the College (by being current students and staff, or College alumni) that we decided to showcase these incredible talents with our first ever “Made by RRC” Market! This special market will exclusively feature the local artistic talents of RRC staff, students and grads.
When: Thursday, November 29th 11:00 am – 1:30 pm
Where: Library Hallway – Notre Dame Campus (2055 Notre Dame Avenue)
Come on by, get some of your holiday shopping done, and support RRC talent! Check out the list of this years vendors:
