Saturday's Spring Event was another GREAT success!
A great bit THANKS to all the vendors for their generosity in giving back to the Friends of the Market with their decorations, donations to the raffle and to the musicians, as well as for the children's' booth. We were able to raise $118, handed out about 75 packets of seeds to customers eager to try their hand at gardening, and entertained loads of little ones at the kids booth while their parents shopped.
Speaking of which, a special thanks to volunteers Jan Gerston, Nancy Burford, Hugh Stearns, and Tanya Miller for making the kids booth a fun time for all!
We had 6 happy winners for our 6 raffle prizes:
- Easter Cake (donated by Karen Jozwiak) was awarded to Marjorie Beeler
- Vegan Tshirt (donated by Thomas Liberty) was awarded to Chris Bachers
- Baby Quilt (donated by Helen Wise) was awarded to Betty Duncan
- Jam/Jelly Variety Basket (donated by Amy Decker) was awarded to Marjorie Beeler
- Easter Chives (donated by the Newmans) was awarded Meghan Boston
- Grand Prize Basket (donated by the Vaughns, the Burtons, Lisa Monson, Marge Beeler, and Barb Lorraine) was awarded to Virginia Koran
Congratulations to all our winners!
It's been an exciting Spring with many new members. Today brings the Friends of the Brazos Valley Farmers' Market another great business partner: The Village Downtown, a downtown cafe which specializes in local and organic ingredients. That's right - many of their food ingredients come right from farmers' market vendors here in the Brazos Valley.
