Free Vendor Booths at Woodlawn Harvest Market June 26, 2009

Summer Stimulus Special

Woodlawn Nature Center is announcing a special, one-time only event for vendors at the Woodlawn Harvest Market. For one day only, June 26th, all vendor booths are FREE.

Woodlawn Nature Center in Elkhart, IN, realizes that many people in the community are struggling in the current economy. To give back to the community, Woodlawn is offering this special opportunity for local gardeners, crafters, and just about anyone, to sell their wares for free at the Woodlawn Harvest Market.

Here's how it works: In order to qualify as "Harvest Market" sellers, you must offer at least one item that is home-grown, home-made, or a local service.

Additional items that are not "local" items may be sold beside your home-made/grown items.

Acceptable "local" items would include:
- Anything grown locally, including fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, cut herbs, potted herbs, cut flowers, potted flowers or plants, grown or collected mushrooms.
- Anything hand-made locally, including "soft" goods--sewing, knitting, soft sculpture, hand-woven baskets, leather goods; constructed items, including woodworking, sculpting, ceramics, concrete sculptures; art works, including photography, paintings, multimedia, original computer graphics.
-Any local service, such as massage, training or consultation; or promote your local service business, such as landscaping, construction or child-care. Or if you're a performing artist, come and entertain the crowd and set out a bucket for donations. Sell your CD or promote your next live performance.
-You can even sell "processed food" such as baked goods, but you MUST have a permit from the Elkhart County Health Department in order to sell processed items.

You can also bring additional items, such as used books, collectibles, housewares--whatever you have to sell!

Bring your own table and setup, and the space is completely FREE! Or if you don't have a setup, Woodlawn has tables to rent for $5! (What a deal!) Booth size is 10 ft. x 10 ft. Electricity and water are NOT available, but restroom facilities and drinking fountain are available inside the Woodlawn Museum.

Setup begins at noon on Friday. Market hours are from 1:00 pm to 6:00 pm Friday.

We expect this to be a HUGE event, so call early to reserve your spot. First come, first served, and spaces are limited.

Hurry and reserve your space by calling Bill Griffin at 269-663-2009. (Note: this is a local call from Elkhart.)

NOT INTERESTED IN SELLING? Be sure to mark this date--Friday, June 26th, 1-6 pm. Come and browse the local harvest. You'll find the freshest produce, unique crafts, and the best deals anywhere!
