To Dog Owners:  Dogs on a leash and controlled are always welcome at the market. We wish to caution you however, that the asphalt may be too hot for your animal’s paws and therefore unhealthy. Follow the 7 second rule: place your hand on the asphalt or other surface for 7 seconds. If it is too hot for your hand, it is too hot for dog’s paws.
