Huge thanks to all who attended. Feedback from vendors and downtown business owners was positive. The nine-week Farmers Market event, held on Thursday evenings, brought a lot of people to downtown Wellington. There were family-friendly special events every week making for a great excuse to get out.
The committee that helped put this event on comprised of Kelly Carol, Gary Green, Emma Hanson, Sarah Braun, Erin Jerome, Adrienne McCormick, Hannah Poch, Shirrell Tietz, Mario Quinonez, Linda Stoddard, and Annie Lindgren. Thank you all for your volunteer hours, and your commitment to making this first-year event for the Wellington Main Street Program successful.
Planning for next year’s Market is underway. Venders can sign up as early as January 2022. The committee plans to change the dates and times for the Thursday night Market to allow for a later season. For more information, visit https://wellingtonmainstreet.org/mainstreetmarket.
