Attention Community Groups!
May 7, 2008Dear community group members,
I am writing to ask if you would like to be part of our Farmers’ market as a fundraiser for your group. One Group will be selected for each week of the market. During that week they will be able to rent a canopy for 8 dollars, where they will be able to sell their products.
What products could your group sell? Some ideas we have are:
Cold lemonade, cider, caramel apples
Ice cream cones (maybe homemade)
BBQ turkey or chicken sandwiches
Fresh baked breads
Grilled brats and beans
Pancake breakfast
home baked pies, fresh donuts, cookies
Pumpkins that you have grown as a group
Other veggies or fruits you have grown as a group
Anything unusual, special, and homemade foods that the customers would enjoy munching on while strolling through the market.
If you haven’t already heard the latest buzz about the New York Mills Farmers’ Market, let me catch you up to speed. The New York Mills Farmers’ Market started on Saturday May 31. It will run on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 9AM to 1PM. We have many interested farmers who will be setting up 10X10′ stalls to sell their fresh fruits, veggies, meats and homemade foodstuffs. There is a great deal of excitement about the Market from the people of the New York Mills area! Since the Market is located at the New York Mills Sculpture Park, we have excellent access to Highway 10 traffic, so we anticipate a large volume of customers.
Take these ideas and discuss them with your group. Then call us to let us know what date your group can be our fundraising guest. The dates will fill up very fast, so call Pat Fredley soon. Her number is 385-2187.
