A
rtisan food, designer beer and
handcrafted items are just a
scattering of what we experienced
over the week end. The bonhomie
and friendliness of the vendors and
stallholders made us feel
as if we were part of a
community and it was a
special feeling. Not only
did we leave with cards,
names and telephone
numbers, we left with the
certain knowledge that we
would return. Here is the
core of buying form a local
producer; the personal
connection
between
craftsman/artist/vendor
and the person who sees
the worth, beauty or
value and is rewarded
with something unique
and very special.
