farmers-market

I would like to take this opportunity to

invite any 4H, FFA, Scout group or City

Organization to have a stall space in the

Paola Farmers Market.

The market will begin on Saturday, May

, 201

and every Saturday

through

Sept.

th 7:30 am till Noon (or sellout) with a

large kickoff on Opening Day.

On opening day we plan to have Music,

Artist, Face Painting, etc. located

around

the square .

All fees will be waived for your group if

they would like to have a table for a

Bake

Sale, Raffle sales, or sell money

making

items.

We would also be very interested in

your

group if they wanted to sing, play

music

or dance on May

nd.

If you choose to have a Bake Sale all

ask is that each item has a label on

with the ingredients listed contained in

each product. This label listing is so

that

the purchaser knows if there are

any

ingredients they might be allergic to

the product.

If you sell eggs they must be stored at

below 45 degrees Fahrenheit in a

cooler. Eggs should be packaged in

cartons free of foreign materials, and

Labeled with name and address of the

individual selling.

If you are enrolled in the gardening or

horticultural project we are also very

much interested in having you sell your

produce or bedding plants at the Market.

Call or email for a contract if you are

interested in joining us as a vendor on

the square. If you have a certain date

you

are interested in please put on the

contract. We would appreciate it if you

would select a couple different dates so

we do not have everyone selling on the

same Saturday and make your efforts

more worthwhile.

If you have any questions or are

interested in having a stall space at our

Farmers Market please contact:
