THIS WEEK'S HIGHLIGHT
This week's spotlight shines on our newest vendor, Don Clark of Happy Bungalow. When we asked Don to give us some background information, he offered the following:
Happy Bungalow is the handcrafted creation of Don Clark. Don makes furniture and toys he wants his kids to play with, that are creatively detailed and meant to be enjoyed by many hands for years to come. Happy Bungalow is a family business - Don, Liz, and the Kids. There are no assembly lines, factories, or endless voicemail systems here. There are stockpiles of happiness and handcrafted fun. We hope you'll have as much fun enjoying our products as we did making them.As one can see from the picture above, Happy Bungalow has something for everyone: toys for the little (and big) kids, clocks, business card holders, cutting boards, and the list goes on and on. Don seems to never run out of ideas for the beautiful and practical items he creates. Not only are they beautiful and well made, they are also safe. Now that many people are concerned about the safety of the products they bring into their homes, you will be glad to know that a very important aspect of Don's creations is the fact that he uses no stains or dyes on any of the items he makes. If you are interested in an item that you don't see at Don's booth, feel free to ask about special orders.

HAPPENINGS AROUND TOWN
Great deal for gardeners: There are times when something that seems too good to be true is actually true. Granny's Garden School in Loveland is sharing their good fortune. They recently received a donation of 4,000 Garden Claws to be used for fund raising. Usually selling for $25 - $30, Granny's Garden is offering them for $20, half of which will go to Granny's Garden School and, if you use code "LEWFM" when placing your order, the other $10 will go to Lettuce Eat Well Farmers' Market. If you are unfamiliar with how awesome the garden claw is, watch the demonstration video here.

After viewing the video you will likely want to order one for yourself and/or a friend. You can order by credit card or by check. You can pick up your garden claw at our market early in March. Details will be emailed to you after you place your order. Remember to use code "LEWFM". This offer is for a very limited time. For more information regarding ordering click here.
REMINDER
Remember to fill out your free raffle ticket each week at
the Market Management booth. At the end of market day the last Friday of
each month during the winter market (Nov. through April) we will draw a
ticket and the lucky customer will win $20 in Market Bucks,
which they can use at any of the vendor booths (no expiration date).
And, as a way to introduce more people to LEWFM, customers who bring new
folks to the market will receive one additional raffle ticket for each
new person they "bring" to the market (they don't actually have to
arrive in your car.
