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 'bigger' businesses in our area.  I see that these corporations want to amalgamate our local small business market(s) in order to profit from our ''local' Hometown' products.​ As a consequence, rates will become even more unaffordable.

 

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