Right Now Downtown

Boy has it been windy at the Market!  Fall is definitely upon us, as you can tell by the changing produce.  Squash Day is September 14 and I can’t wait to see what the Pearl Market Team has in store for us.  Come down and join us for what I’m sure will be some tasty surprises.

This week I sauntered down the road, listening to the music that was just right for the day, and I wandered into Daniel Posani’s booth.  He has some amazing stones, polished and ready to be put on a chain to wear.  The stones are all different types and colors, from blues and reds to earthier colors, with beautiful patterns in them.  He also has a bit of lovely artwork to gaze at as well.

All summer I’ve been looking longingly at the Pearl Market booth at the Friends of the Market bags.  I don’t need more tote bags, but this is the bag to beat all others.  For $25 you become a Friend of the Market, help support the continuation of this amazing program that provides so much and you get this fantastic bag.  There are all sorts of other perks with becoming a Friend of the Market, click on the link to see what the program is all about.

Can’t wait to see you all at the next Market day!

WHO’S YOUR BUDDY…

… Who’s your pal?  Pearl Market has the perfect friendship all lined up and it won’t even be a drain on your social calendar.

Friends of Pearl Market was launched to support programming, like Kids’ Day (July 27), Ohio Proud Mobile Kitchen, Tasty Tuesdays and live weekly entertainment.  Unlike those snooty girls in seventh grade or the alpha dogs of high school, Pearl Market promises to be your friend forever.

For a $25 contribution, $20 of which is tax-deductible, a Friend of the Market gets a groovy canvas shopping bag with original artwork designed just for Pearl Market.  The tote holds an easy half-dozen ears of corn, fixin’s for a perfect salad or a couple cantaloupes.

Friends also get sneak peeks at the weekly Market videos and email updates, as well as cool Pearl Market postcards.  And Friends support Pearl Market’s efforts to provide superior local products to everyone which in turn helps heat up the incubator for small business entrepreneurs as they test the downtown market.

The first five people to identify six of the 12 downtown spots featuring the Friends of the Market bag in this video will receive 50% off a Friends’ Membership.  Email aeschroeder@sidservices.com  with your answers.
