Local Paintings, A Silent Auction, AND a Farmer's Market?!
On Tuesday February 13th, from 4 to 7pm, not only will favorite local producers be on hand with everything from meats, eggs and cheeses to sourdough breads, desserts, maple syrup, and fruit butters…
But this night is so much more than “just” a farmer’s market… with a fundraising drive for the First Place Food Pantry, customers may choose to make a donation for items which the Pantry is most in need of – and vendors can match those donations!
The First Place Food Pantry is the main Pantry in Troy, and when they open MWF, they provide for 40 families per day. Each family is only allowed to visit the Pantry once a month! Servicing up to 500 families each month, just in Troy? The need is great – and we can help!
PLUS a silent auction?! Yes! Over 20 beautiful paintings on 16”x20” canvas from both local artists and art instructors will be available throughout the market for silent bidding – all winners will be contacted at the end of the night!
These paintings represent the Virtual Market’s FIRST fundraiser of 2018! What better way to find a unique gift AND support our 100% local market?!
Did I mention massage oil and chocolates for Valentine’s Day?! Artisan vendors will offer a variety of hand-crafted soaps, pottery, wool and fiber crafts, shopping bags and kitchen items, custom-roasted coffee and herbal teas.
Grab a free cup of herbal tea or coffee (while supplies last!) and sit a while with a jumbo muffin, brownie, or slice of pie!
With the perfect opportunity for vendors and MCLG customers to meet, this night also allows NEW customers to check out the Virtual Market pick-up, and see firsthand just how quick and convenient shopping with MCLG can be!!
We hope you join us Tuesday at First Place anytime between 4 and 7pm :-)
