We wish to thank all the supporters, participants and volunteers who helped to make the 12th Annual “A Farmers Market Springtime Garden Faire” for 2007 a rousing success! Thank you to those who supported us with your presence and your dollars, too.
An extra special thanks to Bruce Bostetler, owner, and Nate of B-Square Electric Co. for their expertise and long hours. Cheers to Kathy and Gary Beard of Camano Island and Stanwood QFC for their promotional endeavors. We especially appreciate Malynda Shipley, Stanwood/Camano Fair manager. Bravo to Garden Faire staff members Marlaine Olson, Susan Large, Dana Carney and Donna-Lee McGinnis. Big hugs to volunteer Debi “Granny Goodwitch Soap” Kirby. A special thank you to “Clean Team,” Martha White, Tori, Dea, Tucker and Tony.
We wish to thank the many stores and offices that posted our flyers and “hosted” our brochure holders. Advanced Storage of Stanwood, Stanwood Shell Deli &Gas, Vantero Gas Station and Stanwood Burger King are especially appreciated for hosting our big signs.
Garden Faire broke customer attendance records this year. We had more than 70 booths, including free gardening workshops and educational booths. Select home service exhibits were added as we endeavor to become our own local “Home &Garden Shop.” All wares sold are made, grown or baked in Washington state by the vendor, friend or family member with no big corporations or imports. We feature specialty nurseries, country crafts, fine art and yummy eats.
Thanks to our North Snohomish communities, to those many folks who go unnamed but not forgotten, as without you we could not put on this wonderful, free family event!
