Hey SL friends, do you know what Sunday is? That's right, it's Car Free Day! Check out their site for all the details - there are Car Free Days happening in the original location on Commercial Drive, as well as in the West End, Kits, and Main St. starting at noon and ending at 6pm, except Commercial Dr. which goes till 8pm.

Go go synchronicity!

Mystery reader Lisa also sent along some info on Main St.'s monthly community market at Blim, which coincides with Car Free Day this month. (Thanks Lisa!!!) Here are all the details:

Don't miss June's Jumbo Main Street Market!

This month's Main Street Market presented by Blim is our biggest ever, with over fifty vendors. Held in conjunction with Main Street's car-free day, we will be taking over the street at Main and 17th, on Sunday June 14th from 12-6 pm. Once again we'll be showcasing our unique mix of vendors offering an eclectic array of delights including vegan baked goods, used vinyl and zines, handmade chocolates, unique body care items, fashion, ceramics and jewellery.

Some of our featured vendors for June include Poodlebreath ceramic jewellery and home accessories www.poodlebreath.etsy.com, Pyramid Power art culture magazine, Laura Eveleigh and Robin Konstabaris' cards and accessories www.lauraeveleigh.com and Wendy Boys handmade chocolate.
