Be a Part of the Market

By now I’m sure you’ve visited the market, but did you know there are so many ways you can be a part of it?

Market Volunteer
Do you have the gift of gab? Want to get some exercise without going to the gym? The market is always in need of volunteers to set up, tear down and work the market information booth. Come for the morning, the afternoon or stay all day. We can find something to fit your schedule and your talents.

Hip in Tipp
There are still a few slots open for your non-profit organization in our Hip in Tipp Booth. Reach an audience of people that care about their community and are interested in learning more about what you do.

Kidz Booth
The next time your children ask for just one more (insert game, toy or other item here), why not sign them up for the Kidz Booth to earn some extra cash? They can make and sell their own crafts and keep the money! There is no charge to use the Kidz Booth, but parental supervision and advance registration is required.

Market Vendor
Why let the kids have all of the fun? Our vendors are the best and we would love for you to join our Saturday family.

If any of this sounds appealing, please email us at info@tippecanoefarmersmarket.com and we’ll get you started.

Say “Hi!” to jewelry artist Anita Heras. She started Ear-Resistibles! by Anita well over a decade ago mainly making earrings, but it wasn’t until her daughter moved 1,000 miles away to attend college that Heras started taking jewelry classes.  At Riverbend Arts Center, she took several classes each in wire-wrapping, glass fusing, lampwork bead-making and stained glass. This is when her unique jewelry style really took off. She received many awards at Riverbend for the student shows as well as coming in second place in a national glass fusing contest.

Ear-Resistibles! by Anita has been carried in many local shops, including the Dayton Art Institute gift shop and in stores as far away as Clearwater Beach, Florida.  “I love being at the Tippecanoe Farmers’ Market”, says Heras.  She finds it always interesting to meet and talk to new people that live in close proximity to her. With new creations being made every week, no pieces are exactly alike and are very affordable.  For more information, please see www.etsy.com/shop/AnitaHeras.

Week One of the Tippecanoe Farmers’ Market - The Market’s fourth year kicked off with their Opening Day on Saturday, June 12 and it looked like everyone had a great time! They had 12 vendors and LOTS of customers despite the downpours. The team of volunteers was excited to kick off a new season of the Market.

As in years past, the Tippecanoe Farmers’ Market will be located on Third Street between Main and Dow Streets, closing down the road and filling it with vendors selling fresh fruits, vegetables, plants and flowers and other homemade or locally-made products. The Market will take place each Saturday morning from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 and features ample parking.
