As market managers, both staff and volunteers, we spend 26 weeks of the year planning and executing indoor markets and an additional 26 weeks for our outdoor markets with one focus: community. With our first two outdoor markets now under our belts, we wanted to share a couple of moments from the most recent market and our gratitude.
Thank you for spending these hours with us. Thank you for supporting our local farmers and producers every week. For each item that you see brought to the market, there are untold hours and efforts that go into their creation. Your patronage as well as your encouragement of these micro businesses is beyond value. Thank you for allowing us to get to know you and your families. Thank you for what can feel like an endless game of 52 card pickup but is actually a celebration of the exuberant creativity the youngest members of our community unleash at the market each week.
If you haven’t been to the market yet in this outdoor season, we look forward to seeing you soon. We would also invite you to stop by our market tent and table. You’ll always find us right in the middle of the market. We’d love to chat and share with you some of the ongoing efforts of the collaboration within Discover Whitewater – Whitewater Area Chamber of Commerce, Whitewater Tourism Council, and Downtown Whitewater Inc. We have treats for our furry friends, crafts and activities for our young patrons, and lots of local and regional information to share.
This coming Tuesday we welcome Ethan to the team. Ethan is graduating this Saturday from UW-Whitewater, and we’re excited to have him on board for the summer as he remains in the area for a summer internship with the United Way of Northern Walworth and Jefferson Counties.
We would also like to express our sincerest gratitude to Generac for their support of the 2023 market season. Live music at the market is powered by Generac.
Sincerely,
The Whitewater City Market Team
Our thanks to the City Market staff and volunteers for sharing their perspectives and photos.
