MARKETPLACE • COMMUNITY • CELEBRATION
From KimberlyThose of you who braved the
heat last week, bravo! You made Sat-urday Market happen. We experi-enced a significant number of Bach Festival folks who came to Market and were delighted to purchase some gifts and goods to take home.
It’s looking like we’re in for a hot summer, so if you haven’t done so yet, now is the time to assemble your heat-blasting comfort kit for Saturdays. Some ideas: hydrating lip balm, sunscreen, battery-powered or hand fan, bag or block-o-ice, tub for cool water foot bath, water spray bottle, light & breathable clothing, well-ventilated footwear, sun hat, bandana soaked in cool water and worn around the neck, cooler with lots of cold liquids and food, pure Aloe Vera and lotions for dry, ex-posed skin.
Some of you are out and about doing various festivals and shows this summer, remember to let folks know how awesome Saturday Mar-ket is and that they can also find you here!
Have a great day!Kimberly
Office Closed Two Days Next Week
The office will be closed on Tues-day next week for Independence Day and Friday so we can all go to the Country Fair! Credit cards checks will be ready onWednesday as usual.
Beautiful Booth of the Month
Congratulations to David Duckett of Mill Creek Wood Works, named “Beautiful Booth of the Month” for July. David is a wood-worker who makes door knockers out of old tools and other fun re-claimed things.
Marketing Tip of the Week: Help with Decision Making
When someone is having a hard time deciding whether and what to buy, a few simple questions can help them make a positive decision with-out feeling pressured. Asking about a
simple preference, like color, shape, size or scent can help narrow down the choices. Often when I’ve spent a long time trying to make up my mind about a purchase, I end up go-ing back and buying the first thing that caught my eye. “What was the first piece you noticed?” and “What do you like about it?” can be helpful for someone who has gotten them-selves overwhelmed with choices. You can then help them narrow their vision by offering items that match their preferences.
Park Blocks Repairs Needed? Let Us Know!
If you notice some maintenance issues on the Park Blocks, such as up-lifted concrete, perilous tree limbs, broken benches or other things, please write us a note on your enve-lope and we will pass the info on to the City’s park maintenance crew for repairs. Thanks!
Sell at Tuesday and/or Thursday Market!
As a Market member, you are welcome to sell at the Tuesday Farm-ers’ Market. Please let the office know in advance if you are thinking about selling so we can get you on the list. A call or note on your envelope will work fine. To get a space, meet Joe just west of the Fountain at the Tues-day Market Info Booth by 9 am on Tuesday. The daily fee is $5 plus 10%, all booths are 8x8. Hours are 10-3. There is no free parking on Tuesdays. Tuesday Market has a separate point system that is not related to Park Blocks or Holiday Market points. Thursday Market hours are 10-2, the cost will be the same. Contact the of-fice directly if you are interested in Thursday Market selling.
I Spy Photo ContestIn honor of Independence Day,
the game this week is #ISpyStars and/or #ISpyStripes. The prize is a revers-ible stars and stripes bow tie from Kelly Durian of Durian & The Lyon.
Customers (and vendors too) can take a photo at Market of something in the theme and post it on their In-stagram, Twitter or Facebook page, just like they would post any photo. By adding #ISpyStars or #ISpyStripes to the caption, I can find the entry. A random winner is picked from par-ticipants.
You can “sponsor” one of these contests by getting in touch with Kim and donating a small prize.
I post a photo of the prize along with the contest hashtag (that’s what the # is called FYI) during the week.
Parking RemindersDon’t park at the blocks until
you are ready to actively load/un-load your vehicle - AFTER you’ve got your space in the morning and AFTER you’ve packed up in the eve-ning. Move it when you are done loading/unloading and before you start the major part of your booth set up. There is a 20 minute limit for Park Blocks parking before 10 and after 5, please respect it.
