GAINESVILLE — The rainy weather did not deter the excitement of hundreds of shoppers who were waiting Friday for the doors to open for the annual Marketplace event at the Gainesville Civic Center.
The annual event is presented by The Medical Center Auxiliary and features more than 80 merchants from seven states. Proceeds from the 2015 Marketplace will go to Safe Kids Gainesville-Hall Count, an agency that works to prevent accidental childhood injury, the number one killer of children ages 14 and under.
AccessWDUN's David Cook visited the Civic Center Friday morning and captured some of the Marketplace activities on camera.
Marketplace remains open Friday until 6:30 p.m. and will be open from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, November 7. Tickets are $5 per person with children 12 and under admitted free.
