We started out the 2011 summer season by setting up a booth at the Cranbrook Farmers Market, which is held in downtown Cranbrook every Saturday morning throughout June-September. We met so many amazing people, and other vendors, that when the possibility of getting to take part in a Winter Market, we jumped at the chance!
My first thought was, “No tent to set up! Yay!”.
The winter market is held during the last weekend in November, and coincides with the Santa Claus parade. This year, it was a two day affair, and despite the FREEZING cold temperature INSIDE (not to mention outside!) the old SuperValu building that the Market rents out in downtown Cranbrook, people came to see it by the thousands! The Friday evening market was packed with excited kids, eager to see the big man in red waving to them at the end of the parade, and the Saturday had people who had scoped things out the night before and were coming back to make their purchases. It was a great time for everyone I think.
We, as market vendors would like to thank everyone who came out and made it such a success and we are already looking forward to next year.
Paul, while I was manning our cupcake booth, managed to make his way around to many of the other vendors. I feel like I got to see a bit of the market through the lens of his camera. After seeing these pictures, I’m almost glad that I was stuck behind the table as I surely would have put a serious dent in my wallet!
