Mount Dora Village Market

Mount Dora Village Market; Farmers Market brings tradition of such shopping to the lakefront

For many, turning a year old means another step forward on the path of life. In a child we see great leaps and bounds into personhood while businesses tend to look at the future as a real possibility. One-year milestones are as varied as the person or business, but always about a fresh new look on what lies ahead.

For Mount Dora, the Mount Dora Open Air Market has reached that one year milestone, ready to move ahead and taking its rightful place as a cornerstone offering on the town’s community front.

So along with that year milestone and cornerstone place on the Mount Dora horizon, the open air market is making a few exciting changes to move it into toddlerhood.

Mount Dora Village Market is the new name of this exciting and growing offering, and a new location along the actual lakefront in Elizabeth Evans Park promises a farmers market unlike any you’ve ever known.

Just another block down from its previous location at Lakeside Inn, the Village Market is at the end of Donnelly Street in the park, with tents set up giving off the feeling of a fair or Renaissance Faire.

With woods to one side, the circle end of the street to the other, a Lawn Bowling facility and the lakefront here, you’re in for a treat.

Shop under the cover of trees in the shade, stroll along the lake and look over at the Mount Dora Lighthouse, Florida’s only registered inland lighthouse, and enjoy your shopping in this unique setting.

Bring a picnic and listen to music played in the market, bring the dogs and treat them to something here such as biscuits or a new collar. Buy some produce and add it to our sandwiches.

The Mount Dora Village Market has grown from an idea to a parking lot happening to this growing, expanding, and important addition to town and the community. Originally launched by the Visit Mount Dora organization, which is a merchant’s and marketing organization, it is now a team partnership between Visit Mount Dora, the City of Mount Dora and the Chamber of Commerce.

Promising to grow continually in the coming months, the number of vendors is set to triple, with more produce, plants, crafts, and music in the works. I even spoke with the goat milk and cheese lady who promises to return this fall/late fall with more baby goats.

So bring the family, bring that special someone, make it a meeting place for friends, or just stop by and enjoy it on your own, but make the Mount Dora Village Market a must-do every Sunday.

*** Please note that due to weather and larger holidays the Village Market will not be open every weekend. Check their website for information.

Pure Aveda Salonspa in Mount Dora Donates Hair to Clean Oil Spill

Pure Aveda Salonspa in Mount Dora, Florida shipped 70 pounds of hair clippings to the Gulf Coast the in first wave of donations being received to help with the BP Oil Spill cleanup.

Matter of Trust, an environmental non-profit, is helping clean up oil spills by reusing donated hair clippings from hair salons, barber shops, pet groomers, and wool farmers. Stuffing this donated hair into donated nylon stockings, this organization creates highly absorbent booms that can protect beaches and white sands from oil spills. A pound of hair can absorb one quart of oil in one minute, and hair mats can be wrung out and reused up to 100 times.

Michele and Ric Wilson, owners of  Pure Aveda Salonspa said, “ As a FAB PRO Green Conscious Certified business, partnering with Matter of Trust  is a natural solution for us to re-purpose hair clippings, and a safe, non-toxic, and effective way to participate in the Gulf Spill cleanup. Our salon guests love knowing that their hair is doing something to help”.

Donors from every state in the US, from Canada and beyond are sending in hair, fur and wool clippings as well as nylons and funding for outer mesh. Boom B Q's (boom making parties) are cropping up all over the Gulf and now in other states as well. The booms will be stored in donated temporary warehouse spaces all up and down the Gulf Coast. If BP and UNIFIED COMMAND need more boom, the Gulf Coast residents, and the donors from all over, will have provided an unprecedented support, supply of materials and volunteer hours, for their assistance!

Pure Aveda Salonspa will continue to collect hair clippings for a second wave of donations and has also set up a nylons donation point at its location in downtown Mount Dora. The community is encouraged to participate by going to get a haircut and bringing along a pair of used, clean pantyhose with you for donation (runs are okay). Pure Aveda Salonspa is located at 206 West Fifth Avenue in Mount Dora. (352) 383-9091. www.pureaveda.com
