Newsletter for Friday January 3, 2014

THIS WEEK AT THE MARKET

If you read this newsletter regularly, you are aware that we are introducing some changes in the way we are holding market.  This Friday Jan. 3 (3:00 - 6:00) will be what we are calling a Regular Market Day, while the following Friday Jan. 10 (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.

HAPPENINGS AROUND TOWN  
Local Loans for Local Foods  
You are invited to attend the upcoming event of Local Loans for Local Foods (LL4LF) on Sunday January 26, 2014 at 1:00 P.M.  The following from their website explains the purpose of LL4LF:  

Local Loans for Local Foods is a Slow Money peer-to-peer lending network. Our purpose is to connect people who have capital available to lend, with local food enterprises that have need for low‐interest loans. We embrace the importance of keeping our dollars local and supporting the production and distribution of local, healthy food in the process.

Everyone is invited to attend the event, even if you do not fall into any of the above categories.  For more information or to RSVP click here.

 

REMINDERS

• Kids & Krafts (available starting at 4:45), where the kids can have loads of fun so you can leisurely shop the market
