A Little Treat for Mt. Airy's Night Market

Little Jimmie's Bakery and Cafe will be one of the businesses selling locally-made items at Mt. Airy's Night Market on August 16.

With the return of this year's night market on August 16 will come plenty of new treats -- including a stage with entertainment supplied by 88.5 WXPN a small amount of crafters and new vendors. One of those additional vendors will be Little Jimmie's Bakery and Cafe, which opened in December. Co-owners Laura Little and Jimmie Reed, who is a Mt.
