Well we had a fantastic first day today at our Farmers Market at Davis Park! We had over 200 people and there was much excitement in the air. The vendors were all very pleased as well as surprised by the turn out. Next week we will have at least two more vendors joining us. Many people stopped by our EC&G table to express interest in joining our group which is terrific.
I would like to thank everyone who helped with the planning and execution of this market and for spreading the word…from graphics design to handing out fliers to making phone calls, doing research and running errands and also to those of you who came early this morning to help set up. A big thanks to Bethany Warburton and the Census Bureau for the great reusable grocery bags. They were a big hit.
Also, if you haven’t seen today’s ProJo, there is a very nice article and photo about our community garden and Davis Park in it. Great publicity for the park! Our name isn’t mentioned, but hopefully folks know that we were the driving force (along with Mr. McMahon of course) behind the Park’s revitalization.
