Rhoda’s Market will reopen its doors to local bargain-hunters and antique-sleuths on April 11 at the Exhibition Park in Saint John.
Owner Colleen Hatfield says they had to wait until New Brunswick returned to the COVID-19 yellow recovery phase to resume operations. Rhoda’s Market had reopened last October for six weeks before Saint John went into orange phase.
“It takes time to get a hold of all the vendors and do a floor plan, and all that kind of stuff, and just get everybody organized and ready to go again” said Hatfield. “That’s why we waited until now to open and didn’t open the very first week that you could.”

Poteen, a clear liquid made from fermenting barley, sugar and yeast, has been made in Ireland for centuries.
The water of life was made by Irish monks in the 1500s and the mispronunciation uisce beatha became whisky. In 1661, poteen was banned by King Charles II and the production went underground; it is considered the father of all whiskies, including scotch, and is the first cousin of moonshine.
The Irish brought the knowledge and skill with them when they emigrated to North America, and the tradition continued.
