Vendor Newsletter for December 10, 2016

View this email in your browser

Dear Vendors,

We hope that all of you are doing well and that your sales keep getting better and better! Only two Market days left until Christmas weekend when we can all take a break and spend time with family.

Voting for the Curbie Awards for 2016 will start on Monday. Nominations can be made on Facebook, by email, or by paper at the Market on Saturday, December 17. Watch Facebook and the newsletter for more details! The winner will be announced at the Market on New Year's Eve.
As always, if you have anything special that you want to let customers know about before Christmas, email me!

Keep up the good work, and stay warm this Saturday!

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year...

There are only two more Markets before Christmas weekend, which means there are only two more chances to check everyone off of your Christmas list! Support small businesses by purchasing locally produced, one-of-a-kind goodies, like signature tomato sauce from Strollo's, a graceful orchid, or a gift certificate for a relaxing massage. See you on Saturday, and don't forget that we will be closed on Saturday, December 24.

Live Music by Will Forever!
This Saturday, Will Forever--a trained classical guitarist and family-friendly folk singer/songwriter--is excited to be able to perform. He says, "Sharing my music at the Market is a dream come true! Going to the Market is one of the highlights of my wife Wren's, our daughter Piper's, and my week! Now, I'm extra excited for a chance to give back by bringing my musical message of love and laughter to my Market community! We hope to see you there!"

The Market Footprint:

Ever wondered where, exactly, the Market ends and begins? The Market stretches directly north from the train tracks, up North Kentucky Avenue, across Pine Street and Bay Street, all the way to Oak Street. That's over four blocks of Market fun! There is parking conveniently located at both ends of the market--on Oak Street and across the train tracks by Munn Park. There is also limited on-street parking on Tennesee Ave. and Pine St.

Holiday Schedule

The Lakeland Downtown Farmers Curb Market will be closed on Saturday, December 24, but we will be open on Saturday, December 31.
