We have had two wonderful Saturdays since I last wrote. Lots of Sunshine, little wind and a big crowd to help us enjoy it! Our grand opening day on the 10th was a lot of fun. Thank you to all the local entertainers that joined in our fun! We had cheerleaders, a talented group of ballet dancers and a very good local musician. We also had a record crowd from early in the morning at 8am right up to closing at noon and beyond. I believe a few vendors sold out of their delightful products early due to the overwhelming attendance.
This week on the 17th was just as well attended and was a little chilly to start off with but warmed up nicely as the day went on. Mr. Potter entertained us with his skill on his guitar and banjo all day long even though his fingers were pretty cold early in the morning. I even think he sold a few cd's as well. We had about 30 vendors and everyone I talked to said they had a really good day. Vero Beach and it's visitors seem to be very happy the market is here and have continued to tell us how thankful they are to have such a nice variety of goods to choose from.
I enjoyed sitting back and watching all the happy faces go by with their bags full of goodies or their Klapp boxes piled high. Plus all the wagging tails and long tongues that are happy to have a free treat from scooters.
Looking forward to next week. We have about 4 more new vendors joining us. We don't have too many spots left, it you know someone that is interested let them know they should put an application in soon.
Have a great week and a nice day off for those of us who don' t have to go to work on Monday! Thank you to all the Farmers' Market Committee Members that make this event run so smoothly and to the Oceanside Business Association for all they did and all they do to bring us the Farmers' Market Oceanside!
