Al McFarlane, the host of The Conversation with Al McFarlane, recently sat down with Mychael Wright, the visionary behind the Golden Thyme Movement in St. Paul, to unveil an event that promises to ignite the spirit of togetherness and celebration. The Capital City Village Bazaar Extravaganza is set to take center stage at St. Paul’s Historic Union Depot, offering a vibrant mosaic of community, jazz, and culture.
Wright, the recently retired driving force behind the Golden Thyme Cafe, expressed his enthusiasm for expanding opportunities for prosperity within the community. He shared, “We’ve always thought about expanding the opportunity for prosperity of our vendors that we’ve assembled over the years with the Selby Avenue Jazz Fest.” Now, with the new event at St. Paul’s Historic Union Depot, the stage is set for a monumental celebration.
The event is Saturday, April 6, as the Capital City Village Bazaar Extravaganza opens its doors from 10:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Guests can anticipate a tantalizing array of culinary delights from esteemed vendors such as Logan’s Catfish, Eggroll Queen, West Indies Soul, A Taste of New Orleans, and more.
Wright said, “So, what I’d like to do is definitely build more awareness, a database so people can basically tune in and find where events are going to be located, especially in the Twin Cities.”
In addition to delectable treats, the event will showcase the talents of local artisans and crafters, further enriching the cultural fabric of the Twin Cities. Wright’s unwavering determination to make the Capital City Village Bazaar Extravaganza a resounding success was evident as he declared, “We’re going to forge straight ahead and make it a great event.”
McFarlane praised Wright’s vision and pledged to keep listeners updated on the event’s progress. He emphasized the importance of community engagement and urged everyone to rally behind local vendors and artists.
