Holiday market brings vendors to Escondido as small businesses face rising costs

The Makers and Shakers Holiday Market at Rancho Guejito Vineyard in Escondido is hosting 30 Southern California vendors this month. As small businesses face rising production costs and tighter consumer spending, organizers have kept vendor fees low to support local entrepreneurs. The market aims to connect the community with small businesses while navigating the current economic climate heading into the holiday season.
