The Market Mixer at Capitol Market in Charleston, West Virginia, is an annual fundraising event that brings together community members, local businesses, and market vendors for an evening of food, drinks, and entertainment. Guests enjoy hors d’oeuvres and desserts, prepared by Carver Culinary students, while sampling products and interacting with vendors who showcase what makes the market special.
