I always wanted to find a way to 'payback' the kindness I experienced from my neighbours and my community - The County.​

​

Later as a 'Local' Vendor, I wanted to give back.

 

I​ strongly feel that we need to keep our  'small town'  businesses and  keep it 'local' because our Art speaks to our history and culture.

 

I  think that I found a way to help our micro-economy. I believe that as a Corporation, I can help vendors like me better compete with:

​

• more affordable fees.

• fundraising for our 'local' neighborhood.

• networking,

• consulting and organizing, 

 

​​Today,  I've observed more and more 'outside' business coming into our area in order to profit from our 'Local'  small businesses and our 'Hometown' products.​ As bigger business take over the Vendor Markets;  fees will become even more unaffordable and hinder our micro-economy significantly.

 

It's time to come together as a group in order to better compete.​
