Tippecanoe Farmer’s Market Planning Underway!
It’s hard to believe, but our happy group has already started meeting about this year’s Tippecanoe Farmers’ Market. Going into our sixth season (can you believe it?), we’re gearing up to distribute Application Packets to our past vendors and anyone new interested in setting up and selling foods or other items at our Market. I’ll have more news as it becomes available, but for now you can check out the website at www.tippecanoefarmersmarket.com, which lists all of last year’s vendors, along with the 2011 Application and the rules for being part of the Market. I don’t think the application will change much, but wait until we post the 2012 one before your fill it out and submit it. No need to do things twice!
If you know anyone interested in vending, or are interested yourself, please contact me and we’ll get you on the list for an application. We’re also looking for volunteers, especially to help us set up and break down the Market each week. Interested in helping out? Want to meet some new people and get involved in the community? We could use you!
Last year we significantly reduced the cost of selling at the Market—now there’s a flat fee to “join the Market,” and we eliminated the weekly percentage. Once you join, you can sell as often as you want – hopefully every week! The 2012 Market is scheduled to begin in June and run through September on Saturday mornings in downtown Tipp City. We’ll feature fresh fruits, vegetables, flowers and other items from a great group of vendors. See you at the Market!
Quarter Auction This Sunday
The great folks at Main Street Preschool are holding their second annual Quarter Auction This Sunday from 2 pm to 4 pm to support ongoing school needs.
Admission tickets are available now for only $2 at the preschool office and at the door on Sunday. The information I have says that along with your admission ticket you’ll get an bidding paddle, which you will to use to “bid” on items you never dreamed of for a quarter or few. Bring your friends and your quarters!
Vendors will include Pampered Chef, Longaberger Baskets, Scentsy, Tastefully Simple, Thirty-One Gifts, Treat of the Town, Tupperware, Massage Therapy, Mary Kay, Premier Jewelry, and Thirty-One Gifts.
The Tipp City United Methodist Church is located at the corner of Main & 3rd Streets in beautiful downtown Tipp City. Doors will open at 1:30 pm, and the auction will run from 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm. If you have questions, please call the Main Street Preschool at 669-4707.
The Get Social Show is Back!
The Get Social! Radio Show is back on the air again after taking almost a whole year off. Mike McDermott and I took some time off to pursue our other myriad interests– I wrote a couple of books, and Mike ran for and won a City Council seat—but we’re back on the air on Fridays at noon now, airing live on our website.
Mike McDermott and I host the weekly radio show, where we cover a variety of Tipp City-related topics, including local guests, funny stories and commentary (at least we hope it’s funny), and a round-up of local events and activities.
Check out the website at www.getsocialradio.com – it’s got a calendar for information on upcoming shows and guests, along with the Listen Live option that broadcasts the show directly to your computer when we’re on the air.
We’re also gearing up for more guests and are looking for folks from local businesses and groups to come on the show. Interested in being a guest? Use the “Contact Me” page at my website (see below) and let us know what you’d like to cover and we’ll try to get you booked.
