Mostly Sunny Cows for SAT JUN 15
Weather just keeps getting better! Temps in the 60s to open (bit humid), rising to 80 by breakdown as humidity decreases, all under mostly sunny skies.
Even for someone who doesn’t believe in forecasts, that one’s pretty hard to resist.

Collingswood Foods SAT JUN 15
Collingswood Section. To emphasize our own community’s food economy, at the west end of the Market, Collingswood food businesses have their own section to promote their contributions to the Borough’s vibrant food scene.
Revolution Roasters handles the fresh-roasted beverages, while El Sitio provides fantastic Ecuadoran specialties including empanadas and Pan de Yuca (cassava cheese bread treats). Villa Barone features familiar favorite sauces, tasty zeppolis, sometimes their own fresh mozzarella. Sara’s Produce by special arrangement is the one source for produce NOT grown in New Jersey. Lost Bread Co. of Philadelphia has taken up the familiar bakery space. A new BID member, CYNPLICITY Artisan Soaps, will join us for the first time in the BID section.

Steak Dinner for Dad!
STEAK DINNER FOR DAD
Susan Mauer Lynch (Yellow Room Upstairs). Steak Dinner for Dad. Susan’s husband used a “cold grate reverse sear” technique to cook the Bison rib eye steak she brought home for Buck Wild Bison, but simpler techniques work too! To round out the meal, she bought cheese and butter from Hillacres Pride, Cauliflower from Muth Family Organic, garlic scapes from Savoie, a spread from Cheese, Etc., salad vegetables from AT Buzby, sugar snaps from Viereck, spring onions from Formisano, and mushrooms from Davidsons. Nobody uses the Market (and tells us all about it!) like Susan.

Bag Reduction Program
Small Bills
Many of you know, but for those of you who don’t, I carry small bills for vendors who run out of singles during the Market day.
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
