“… Nestled in the scenic mountain town of Running Springs, this market blends fresh, local produce with unique handmade crafts. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to connect with vendors and fellow shoppers while exploring some truly special goods.”
We occupy the second space from the Whispering Springs entrance to the farmers market, and our Mountain Bears sign is visible from Whispering Springs Drive. Our next-door neighbor, Coventina Coffee, occupies the first space from that entrance. The coffee drinks served by Coventina are made to order, and customers waiting for their drinks frequently chat with us and/or read the story boards and signs we display on the grid racks Sabro provides. Those grid racks greatly enhance the appearance of our booth. Thank you, Sabro and Marquita Foster for the use of the racks, for storing and bringing to the market all the things we set up there, and for working with us at the booth.
We are now completing what has been a successful Farmers Market for us. Few people registered to vote in this off-election year, but the many people, both vendors and visitors, who thanked us for being at the market remind us of how important it is to be visible and available. Our presence, our sign, and our story boards promote the Democratic Party, our values, and our Mountain Bears Democratic Club. We tell Democrats at the market how important it is to vote – even in mid-term and local elections. And we give people information and literature about our club, upcoming events, and issues such as proposition 50.
Thank you to: Diane Grady for being so dependable, Larry Fehrenbach for helping us break down our booth at the end of the day, Henry Flowers for helping us set up and working at our booth, Chris Heyn for working at our booth, and Cathy Clemens of the R.S. Chamber of Commerce for making the farmers market such a pleasant experience for all.
