First Winter Market = Success!

Today was the official launch of Casper's first-ever Winter Market season, and, wow, what a turnout! We are extremely pleased with all of the vendors that came out for this event, as well as the many supporters who stopped in to say hello and buy local! We had a huge variety of vendors today, including honey, soaps, spices, fudge, baked goods, jellies and jams, as well as fresh produce, olive oil, local meats and fresh bagels, but expect to see many more great additions to join us in dates to come!

 

We were fortunate enough to have K2TV, the Casper Journal and KCWY13 News stop in to highlight our market, so be sure to tune in tonight for Casper's First Winter Market coverage!

 

Mark your calendars and spread the word!!!!

The next Winter Market is scheduled for December 7th from 9:00am to noon in the Ag Resource Center, just before the Fairgrounds entrance on Fairgrounds Road. We would love to see everyone stop in to show their support for our local businesses and producers, as YOU are what makes Casper's markets successful.

Thank you and hope to see you in December!!!

Fun kids

Last night at the market we saw some great kids! 

Market season in OPEN!

The first market took place yesterday. There were great crowds, fun activities for the kids thanks to FBC MOPS, and plenty of great food - both fresh and cooked.
We're always looking for more fresh food so if you have a plentiful garden and are wondering what to do with the extra, come to the market.

This year we've launched a new concept - where you can "rent" a part of the market table for $2 (for a 2'x2' part of the table) and sell your extra produce.

Last night, we have fresh, local, organic raspberries that sold out in 2 minutes. There was a line at the start of the market - they were waiting for 5:00 pm to hit so they could purchase the raspberries!

If you know of a food truck vendor or a street cart vendor who would like to join us, please send them our way. The more vendors, the better the market becomes.

Thanks to our sponsors, City of Casper, Greiner Motors, and the McMurry Foundation.
And make sure you check out our parent organization's website, www.wyomingfoodforthoughtproject.org because together, we ARE creating a strong and sustainable local food system accessible by everyone.

 It's the perfect venue at the Rails to Trails in downtown Casper for the summer market. Tuesdays, 5:00 pm - 7:30 pm. Bring the kids and let them play in the public fountain, listen to live music, eat dinner, and more.

 Perennial favorites AND new vendors filled the market.

 This is the "food court". There's room for many more food trucks to vend!

Vendors make the market!

The market keeps growing and we are getting new vendors every day.
Here are some of the perennial favorites who will be there again:

Generation's Toffee (English Toffee, beets, lettuce, carrots, spinach)
BigSqueezer Lemonade
Tribal Biker (Jewelry)
P. Hawk Coffee
Oregon Trail Veggies (Kim Merchant and family)
What a Nut (Baked goods)
WW Wire & Metal
Girl In Air
Westside Garden & Nursery

And more!

Time to market!

We are 2 weeks from the first downtown market! We're excited to see all the vendors and shoppers. It's going to be an awesome market!
