The event will collect nonperishable food donations for the H amilton County Harvest Food Bank while featuring more than 85 local vendors. The food bank supports more than 30 community food pantries across Hamilton County. The market is designed to help address summer hunger while highlighting small, local businesses. “We bring together artisans, handmade woodworkers and mini boutiques — just a variety of products,” said Sherry Spooner, market director for Spooner Markets. “We look for quality vendors. They’re very passionate about what they make and do.” Vendors will include family-owned food trucks, coffee and drink trailers and mobile boutique trailers. Offerings will range from baked goods and coffee to crochet items, jewelry, candles, wall decor and magnets. Spooner said most items are handmade. Attendees can also shop for seasonal gifts, including Father’s Day items, and enjoy food, seating areas and live music. Summer giveaways will also be offered. Those who donate food items will be entered into a drawing for a $25 Lowe’s gift card. “Our very first market started out with about 40 vendors,” Spooner said. “We’ve grown to the whole building and outside vendors, mobile boutique trailers.” The food drive will accept nonperishable items such as mac and cheese, applesauce, granola bars, canned vegetables, soup and boxed goods. Spooner encouraged donors to visit the organization’s website at www.spoonermarkets.com and its Facebook page at facebook.com/spoonermarkets for additional suggested items. ...read more read less
