Mey Market First Day Success
10th May 2011
After all the months of planning, wondering if the idea would work, and waiting for stallholders to come forward, it was a great boost yesterday to see so many locals and
visitors coming in to see us. We already have a waiting list of potential stallholders but we are fully booked for the whole season at the present time.
A great variety of products were on offer, artwork of all types, organic pork, smoked food products, handmade soaps, cosmetics, jewellery, fused glass work, drfitwood items, handsewn gifts, feltwork and crochet.
Mey Selections produce, eggs, home baking and plants. In fact the stalls demonstrated what a wealth of locally made high quality products there are available, and gathered together in such a pleasant venue there is a lot to enjoy, with refreshments on hand.
We are all keen for the market to succeed and welcome everyone to call in and see us, and if they like what they see, to encourage their friends and visitors to pay us a visit as well, so thank you to all of you who visited us on our first Tuesday of the season, which
will run until 13 September, every Tuesday.
