SOUP! Black Sheep is offering a vegetarian and a meat ‘Market Soup,’ made made from food from our vendors! Come and enjoy our tastiness of our collaboration.
And a big Thank You to our SPONSORS. The Winter Market is a very expensive market to run due to the need to rent an indoor space. The following businesses and organizations make it possible:

Music
Richie Pace Richie Pace is a Senior English major at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Though he currently treats music performance as only a supplement towards his undergraduate experience, he plans on pursuing music full-time once he earns his degree in May. Richie incorporates strong vocals and a soft electric guitar tone to create a unique singer/songwriter sound. Expect plenty of passion, charm, and Beatles covers.
