Philip, SD

Are you interested in participating in your community, as well as selling produce and goods that you grow and make yourself?

Mark your calendars for June 21, 2008 at 2:00pm for an organizational meeting regarding the Farmers Market. The meeting will be held at the Senior Citizen’s Center.

A local Farmer’s Market is being organized to help keep the economy local and is in need of farmers, gardeners and crafters of all kinds to declare their interest in participating in a fun, entertaining and profitable way to spend a few hours on Saturday in downtown Philip. “All Things Local” is the theme and the focus is on produce, but all types of locally produced foods and crafts are welcome.If you have the chance to plant a few extra rows in your garden, you could make some money this summer by selling your fruits, vegetables and flower bouquets on Saturday afternoons. If you don’t have a garden, don’t count yourself out. Maybe you have fresh cream, butter, honey, jam or eggs to offer. Perhaps you can bake cookies or pies. Maybe you make clothes, quilts, woodcrafts, soaps, or candles - the list is endless!

It’s your chance to show your wares and visit with friends and neighbors. If you think people will buy it, bring it and sell it!

Please show your interest by calling the Chamber of Commerce at 859-2645 or Christine Andrus at 859-2317.
