Collingswood SAT OCT 01
SAT OCT 01
[WEATHER DEJA VU. Last year, October 03, 2015, several farms cancelled their dates at the Market for fear of heavy weather forecasts. The Book Festival was moved indoors to the High School. And it didn’t rain. We had overcast skies, moderate winds, temperatures in the 50s.]
Bring tent weights and prepare for the possibility of showers. Or not.
Site Plan for SAT OCT 01
The Book Festival occupies Haddon Avenue in good weather. Last year it was moved to the High School for fear of rain. No decision has been made about the location yet, but Irvin Avenue is a designated thoroughfare for Saturday morning, so Guest Vendors will take their spaces inside the Market.
FEATURED ARTIST
CHAKRA CALM CREATIONS. Beverly Lewis makes her Collingswood Market debut this week with crystals and jewelry set in macrame wraps. (I don’t know what that means either, but the photos are intriguing.)

Bag Reduction
Already this season, we have noticed a significant decline in the number of disposable, single-use plastic bags at the Market. We’re taking a variety of steps to help shoppers eliminate them where possible.
Send anyone who wants to participate to the FOFM (Friends of the Farmers’ Market) tent at the middle of the Market for
- a FREE Paper bag courtesy of Market sponsor Audubon Savings Bank, or
- a chance to make their own T-Shirt bag, or
- to purchase a snazzy Market reusable bag, or
- to BORROW a reusable bag from the FOFM Loaner Bag program.
BID Vendors
Perennial favorites DiBartolo Bakery, Villa Barone, Cheese Etc., and Sara’s Produce will be selling food.
Starting this season, David Hodges is your primary contact for all BID area questions, reservations, and requests. At the usual numbers and email addresses. See below.
Small Bills and a Bathroom Key
There will be no small bills this one week, SAT SEP 03.
For guest vendors who might not be aware, Joe Williams will be available with keys to Perkins Art Center, a Market sponsor, the primary benefit of which, for our vendors is INDOOR PLUMBING!
VENDOR PARKING PERMITS
It’s good business to save the best parking spaces for SHOPPERS! Most visitors will tell you it’s tough to find parking at the Market. We make things worse by parking our own vehicles in spaces that could be used and re-used many times by shoppers. Please encourage your table crew to park for free in the Lumberyard Parking Garage (just across Collings Avenue from the west entrance). There are plenty of spaces inside, and the walk back to the Market takes 3 minutes.
Flexible Site Plan
Changes will continue to occur throughout the season as vendors come and go and as we learn more about how neighbors interact. I remind you no spaces are ever guaranteed and require your cooperation if I have to move your location any given week.
THANK YOU

Booked Solid for SAT SEP 17
No Room to Spare. We filled every space and then some. John and Kira’s Chocolates had to cancel (re-scheduled for SAT SEP 17), making room for the Juvenile Diabetes Fundraiser. The Proud Neighbors of Collingswood will have to squeeze onto the Mulch space near Flaim Farms.
