Get a jump on holiday shopping

Something for everyone.

That's how organizer Courtney Soper, of Page, describes offerings at Saturday's Harvest Merchant Market, planned in Clearwater, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The event will feature approximately 20 vendors from across northeast Nebraska. Booths will be set up in The Office, at 522 Main Street, and the Clearwater American Legion, located at 507 Main Street.

In addition to the sidebar, artists/crafters attending the show include Burlap & Bows, Patriots Landing, Maple Leaf Boutique, JLS Gems & More, Color Street, Scentsy, Mary Kay, Slinky's Craft, Kay's Tye-Dyes, author Fae Dunn, Creative Memories, Jenn Kester, Renea's pumpkins, Steve Harley jellies and more.

Jewelry home decor, holiday items, goat soap and lotion, metal works, custom T-shirts, candles, books, jellies and baked goods are a few of the items vendors will have available.

A portion of Main Street will be blocked off, allowing easy access between buildings.

Reiman Coffee Company, of Verdigre, will have its traveling coffee trailer set up between the buildings.

The Waterhole will be open for lunch. Owner Debb Pofahl said pulled pork barbecue sandwiches, potato salad, macaroni salad, cookies and choice of tea, lemonade or bottle of water will be served for $10 per plate.

A fall and harvest-themed photo booth area will be set up.

Soper said while the sidebar has hosted vendor fairs since it opened in the fall of 2020, this year's merchant market is the launching pad for what she hopes turns into an even larger annual event.

"Think Junkstock on a smaller scale," she said.
