Newsletter for Friday December 20, 2013

While the market's year round location is Cheviot United Methodist Church 3820 Westwood Northern Blvd. 45211, the location at the church varies depending on other activities at the church.  Just follow the happy voices and you'll find us.

THIS WEEK'S HIGHLIGHT

If you read this newsletter regularly, you are aware that we are introducing some changes in the way we are holding market.  This Friday Dec. 20 (3:00 - 6:00) will be what we are calling a Regular Market Day, while the following Friday Dec. 27 (4:00 - 6:00) will be what we are calling Pre-order Pick Up Day.  To help everyone easily adjust to the changes, we offer the following check list of what to do at market this week:

1. Purchase all your food and non food items as you regularly do from the full line up of vendors who will be present this Friday.
2. Place your pre-orders with the two vendors who will be participating in the Pre-order Market Days.  Please note that you will be required to pay for your items at time of ordering, at which time you will receive a receipt for your pre-order.  We even made it easy to locate these vendors by placing them side by side at the beginning of the market space.

That's it.  That's all you need to do in order to get into the swing of things in our brand new, improved way of holding market.  

Please note the new time of the Regular Winter Market Days is 3:00 until 6:00 P.M.

You may now purchase Market Gift Certificates at LEWFM.  Stop by the Market Management booth to purchase a Market Gift Certificate in any denomination.  The recipient brings the Gift Certificate to market to redeem for Market Bucks which they can spend like cash at any of the vendor booths.  What a great way to not only give a gift everyone can use, but you will also be supporting local food and non food producers.  Win, win, win for everyone.

REMINDERS
While some of you are long-time readers of the newsletter, people who are new to the market are reading the newsletter for the first time; therefore, the Reminders section is included each week so new folks can see what's happening around the market and around town.

For a full listing of our vendors, their products, the weeks they attend market, and their services including:

• Kids & Krafts (available starting at 4:45), where the kids can have loads of fun so you can leisurely shop the market
• Many food and non-food items
• and a list of vendors who accept credit cards

Check out our Vendors.
