Tipp City, OH — The Tippecanoe Farmers’ Market is coming back in June 2008! The Market, presented by the Downtown Tipp City Partnership, was such a roaring success in 2007 that plans are already underway for the 2008 season. Last year’s Market provided an exciting and vibrant venue for shoppers to purchase fresh products from local farmers and other vendors. The 14 week season brought over 3,800 customers to downtown TippCity, with vendors collectively selling over $25,000 worth of local products.

The Market, located in the heart of downtown TippCity, will once again provide residents and guests of TippCity with a wide variety of local goods, including fruits, vegetables, soaps, homemade breads and baked goods, fresh cut flowers and potted plants.

“We have a lot of exciting new events scheduled for the 2008 season,” said Melissa Maclauchlan, the new Tippecanoe Farmers’ Market Manager. “In addition to a great selection of local produce and products, we are planning a tomato tasting, corn hole tournament, corn roast and a ‘Kids Korner’ for arts and crafts.”

Aside from offering a great place to buy local products, the Market Committee hopes that the Market will become a “social destination” for people to meet on Saturday mornings. “We hope our shoppers will come for their local veggies and stroll around the Market, munching on some of the delicious food available while visiting with friends and listening to the music of local entertainers,” said Maclauchlan.

The 2008 Market will once again run Saturdays, June-September from 9 AM to 1 PM. If you are interested in becoming a vendor or volunteering at the Market, please contact Matt Owen of the Tipp City Chamber of Commerce at 667-8300.
