Uptown Waterloo Farmers' & Crafters Market Planning Meeting
February 11 12:00 AM
At Seven Shores Urban Market & Café (10 Regina St. N Unit 4. Waterloo, ON)
The Waterloo Farmers and Crafters Market is entering its fourth season in 2012. It has enjoyed numerous successes over the years, but has had many struggles too. There is opportunity to examine the successes of the market as well as its shortcomings and perhaps an opportunity to drive some change to ensure more success in the future.
I would like to invite you to an unofficial meeting where we can talk about ways to improve and sustain the market in the future so that it can be vibrant and thrive for years to come. Your input and feedback is very much appreciated.
In this meeting we will discuss issues such as:
- Market schedule
- Vendor attraction and retention
- Market policies
- Activities in and around the market
- Promotions and branding
- Market operating structure
- other items of interest to the group
Please join us on Saturday February 11 from 2 - 4pm in the community room at Seven Shores Urban Market & Café (10 Regina St. N Unit 4. Waterloo, ON). Please feel free to invite others whom you think may be interested in attending this meeting. Please RSVP to Tracy by Thursday February 9 at Tracy.Suerich@waterloo.ca
