We are still seeking sponsors in an effort to promote local businesses, as well as to help offset the costs. We had an average of 700 people attending the 4 markets we held last season. Our Facebook page reached out to 189,000 post views by March of this year. Sponsors will be listed in all brochures and web-related posts, as well as on a banner onsite. A sponsor’stable will be available at each market, providing sponsors an avenue for promoting their business with promotional literature, coupons, special offers, etc. Sponsor applications have gone out and you can get one of them here online. (All you need to do is contact Wendy Vandercliff, our market manager for the password protection code.)
The market will provide a service to the community by offering the consumer a source of quality, locally grown produce and homemade food products and holiday gifts, as well as providing information about our sponsors’ businesses.
We hope you will join us as we celebrate the harvest of the region!
The year has turned its circle,
The seasons come and go.
The harvest all is gathered in
And chilly north winds blow.
Orchards have shared their treasures,
The fields, their yellow grain,
So open wide the doorway~
Thanksgiving comes again!
