MILLARD, Neb. (KMTV) — 66 local vendors packed the Hope Presbyterian Church parking lot off 158th and Q Friday night.
The event was hosted by Local Makers Collective, a small business in Millard.
The goal of the event was to showcase small businesses in the community. There were food trucks, clothing shops, artwork, face paint and something for everyone.
"There is someone from every walk of life in this parking lot, and I think that is really what markets should be and what Omaha is about. It's such a melting pot of all of these different cultures, that are showing their passion and what they are good at and a little bit of their culture with it and they like get to show it and it's awesome," said Nicole Szymczak, owner of Local Makers Collective.
Along with all the shopping, organizers chose to sponsor Project Intentional, a local non-profit, with a mission to restore dignity in women and families. The organization was at the market accepting donations.
Szymczak says this is the first market and they hope to host more this summer as well as holiday seasons to come.
