Marshall’s Country Store, owned by TV star Amber Marshall, is holding its second annual May Market this Saturday (May 25).
Marshall plays Amy Fleming on the CBC series Heartland. She opened her county store on Main Street in Diamond Valley in 2022.
The market, which will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., will feature local vendors who specialize in items like jewelry and leather goods, Marshall said.
Heartland has aired for 17 seasons on CBC and has earned a global following since it premiered in 2007.
While entrance to the market is free, more than 100 tickets were sold for a private meet and greet with Marshall and other Heartland cast members.
The $25 tickets were released last month and sold out in less than a day. About 70 per cent were purchased by people who live outside of the greater Calgary area, Marshall said.
All proceeds from meet and greet tickets will go to Opening Gaits Therapeutic Riding Society, she said. Located in DeWinton, the organization’s mission is to give people with disabilities an opportunity to enjoy the benefits of riding horses.
Marshall's Country Store carries men's, women's and children’s clothing and accessories, gifts, home decor and official Amber Marshall merchandise, with much of it personally selected by Marshall.
