Makers Market - There was plenty on offer at the Clifford Makers Market on Nov. 26, from jewelry to knitted items to hot sauce and other foods. But these animal balloons were wildly popular with the kids, although you had to keep them away from the warming fires dotted through Celebration Park. Frequent popping ballons could be heard.
