July 11th Farmers Market

Tomorrow afternoon from 3:30 - 6:30 pm. the Delaware, Ohio downtown Farmers Market sponsored by Main Street Delaware will hold their mid week market on the west side of Sandusky street between William and Central avenues. Saturday was a killer day (in more ways than one) vendors were packed two deep on the sidewalk offering any kind of hand made, home grown, or non-profit service you could ever use. My friend and co-marketer Patty Jacobus will be there with me during the market. This year has been phenomenal to date as there were days when we thought no one would come (like last Saturday when it was 103) the side walks were jammed with shoppers who were looking for that special gift or food product that they love and can only get at the market. I'm finishing another of my (hand made) rosaries for a customer who is looking for a 48" long one which are not easy to find in any store. I'm still blessed to not have to spend money on traditional advertising but rely on referrals to keep me humming 7 days a week with business. Tomorrow Patty and I will be working on new items for each of our customer markets as they have been phenomenally loyal to both our businesses. Last Saturday I sold more of my hand made Hot pads, cast iron pot handle protector grips, and hair pins than at any other time in the 5-1/2 years I've been in business. Main Street Delaware Director Frances Jo Hamilton has outdone herself this year putting together a great selection of vendors to provide products for our shopping client base. See you in Downtown Delaware, Ohio tomorrow afternoon between 3:30 - 6:30 pm. Stop by on your way home from work and make it a one stop shopping trip. Memorabeadia
