Hello, Voorhees Marketeers!

General Notes

Weather should be cooler and less humid this week with Friday’s rain ending well before Market opening. Expect a beautiful day.

Caribbean Party

The most successful Saturdays this summer have been the special event days. Crowds are bigger and sales are stronger. This week is another Caribbean Party. The steel drum band will provide the entertainment. In addition to Catelli Duo, who do a beautiful job every week, this week three more of our restaurants (Rodizio, Elena Wu, and Qdoba) will be setting up sampling tents to tempt shoppers to linger longer at the Market. Dress for the islands and bring out your best stuff.

Vendor Notes

• In short, WE’RE FULL!

• Blueberry Fields had a good first week and will return this week SAT JUL 13.

• Sweet Pea CSA is back after too long away (and two weeks earlier than expected!) I’ve placed Alex between two vendors who do not park vehicles in the Market. I hope her neighbors will give her the room she needs for her little pickup. (There’s no room to spare.)

• Bellview Winery is with us this week. Remind your customers that we have fine wines every week.

• NEW PRODUCT: Artisan breads from American Harvest of Mount Laurel will be presented by Talluto’s Washington Township for the first time this week. Tell your customers they no longer have to make a separate trip to the bakery.

• NEW VENDOR: Kemp’s Kettle Corn will join us for the first time this week!

• MARKET VISITORS: This week or next, you may be approached by prospective vendors from Lawless Jerky and Marc Kaplan’s Kelp Chips. Please make them feel welcome. We can all benefit from adding a variety of quality vendors to our mix.
