Call the police or submit information through a crime watch agency. Tonight, the new Broad Street Market Alliance in Harrisburg is asking the community to name a newly erected tent for vendors displaced by last summer's fires. We plan to hold a competition and allow the community to vote on what to call the tent. We will provide more information about this soon. But since this is a community asset, we want the community to choose the name. In the meantime, vendors are moving into their tent locations and are expected to open soon. The alliance is currently reviewing applications to fill the remaining three spots, and the board also voted to extend the stone building's Saturday hours to 6 p.m., which was approved.

Vendors forced to evacuate last summer at Harrisburg's Broad Street Market in a fire will soon reopen in temporary tents, but they need a name before they can open. That's where the Broad Street Market Alliance is asking for a little help from the community. “We're going to have a contest and let the community vote on what we want to call the tent. We'll have more information about that soon, but this is a community asset so we're going to let the community vote on what we want to call the tent.” We want you to choose,” said Eric Hagerty, chairman of the market board. Vendors have begun filling the tents, and the alliance is currently considering applications to fill the final three spots remaining. The board also voted Wednesday to extend Stone Building hours until 6 p.m. Saturday and approved funding for safety measures to prevent future fires.
