4th of July Weekend Special at WNCHM

The Special Event went quite well.

In fact, it went so well that we are trying another special for this coming Friday. Hold onto yer hats folks:

July 4th Special

Here's an Independence Day Special to help your small local business. In honor of July 4th, just mention this ad, and get a booth at the Woodlawn Harvest Market for just $4. This is a great opportunity for local gardeners, crafters, and just about anyone, to sell their wares 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 just $4! Or if you don't have a setup, Woodlawn has tables to rent for just $5 more! (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. Call early to reserve your spot: Bill Griffin at 269-663-2009. (Note: this is a local call from Elkhart .) First come, first served, and spaces are limited.

NOT INTERESTED IN SELLING? Be sure to mark this date - Friday, July 3, 1-6 pm. Come and browse the local harvest. You'll find the freshest produce, unique crafts, and the best deals anywhere!
