Spring is Coming!

Things are still going great at the Trade Fair Marketplace thanks to about 40 very dedicated and dependable volunteers. We have made a few changes and added some new shelves that my husband Eugene made. I have to give him credit so he will make some more later on.

Obviously sales slowed down considerable after the holidays. We averaged between $1100 - $1200 a week in January and it looks like February will do a little better.

We have signed up for the Trinity Marketplace the first weekend in March. This is a art/craft festival they have at Trinity Methodist Church each year to raise money for their missions programs. We thought it would be a good way to sell some products as well as spread the word about “fair trade”.

As you can see from the photos, we have some Easter things out. One of our new volunteers made the pictures.

We are working on getting a bigger sign for better visibility from the street.

Come check out our spring stuff.
