Thank you for your interest and support for the operation of a farmers' market in Lion's Head this summer.

It will run most Saturdays from 8 a.m. until noon, beside Golden Dawn Senior Citizens' Home on Main Street in Lion's Head. Although it is not an ideal situation for advertising and establishing a client base, it will run one week at a time based on the availability of vendors and their products. If there are 6 to 8 vendors able to come, it will run. There will be signs put out a few days before if it is going to operate that week.

The opening day for the market will be Saturday, June 21 from 8 a.m. until noon. Although arrangements are still being made, hopefully there will be entertainment, barbeque and maybe a car wash close by in support of school activities. So it will be an exciting day for sure!

This summer's market is inspired by a school project on globalization and our need to find sustainability by supporting our local economy. So, it is a trial run to find out how local vendors can be promoted and supported. I am open to any suggestions, so please feel free to contact me.

Vendors:
Because it is operating week by week, vendors are not asked to commit for the entire summer. Come as often as you can, and if possible, let me know a week or so in advance whether or not you can come. It would be great to have as many producers as possible for the opening day (especially because I am being assessed for my project at this time). Even if vendors do not have produce coming up yet, I would love for you to come. This would provide an opportunity for us to meet, see what the market is like and most importantly, to promote your business (perhaps through cards or brochures if you don't have produce yet). You are responsible for bringing your own table, chair, sign, change and anything else you require, but if this isn't possible, let me know and we can easily borrow from Golden Dawn. There are no vendor fees this year. Please let me know if you can make it on June 21 as soon as possible.

Once again, thank you for your support. Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions. I look forward to hearing from you or seeing you at the market!

Sincerely,
Megan Myles
