For consumers, don't forget the new market at the King's Shops on Wednesday, and be on the watch for the upcoming market at Anna Ranch in Waimea. Also, holiday hours at the Town Market at Parker School in Waimea: Thursday, December 23, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and will be closed on Christmas Day, December 25. The market will also be open on Thursday, December 30, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and will be closed on New Year's Day, January 1, 2011.
