In addition to all the general benefits provided to sponsors, the Music at the Market Sponsor will have a sponsor banner hanging in the music tent every week showcasing their generosity to the community in supporting our local artists and growth of the market as well as their logo and business name mentioned every week on social media, our website, and newsletter.
Our Kids Market Bucks Club includes wildly popular programming aimed at encouraging the area youth to make healthier food choices. This program consists of kids healthy eating and living activities that the youth must complete at market. Once completed they visit the market booth and are issued “Kids Market Bucks” for $6 each, good toward the purchase of fresh fruits and veggies from our farm vendors. In addition to all the general benefits provided to sponsors, the Kids Market Bucks Sponsor will have a sponsor banner hanging at the Kids Market Bucks Club booth, their logo printed on all Kids Bucks and program materials, as well as special mention for all program advertising.
New this year, we'll be starting a Frequent Shopper Program where folks can pick up a punch card at the Market Booth (free of charge) and every time they visit the market (no purchase necessary) they get a punch on their card. Once they get 8 punches they will receive $5 to spend at the market. This sponsor's logo will be printed on every punch card and their business name mentioned every time the program is advertised along with all of the general benefits provided to sponsors.
The market hosts local chefs throughout the season that come and prepare recipes with our vendors’ seasonal offerings. The Chef at the Market program happens once each month and is designed to inspire and educate customers with ideas on how local, in-season foods can be added to their cooking. In addition to all the general benefits provided to sponsors, the sponsor will have a banner hanging at the Chef at the Market booth each month, their logo printed on all Chef at the Market program materials, as well as special mention for all program advertising.
