Yes, I know it is only September and school has only just started, but we are scheming the Cool Winter Night Market already and want to get the call for vendors out early.  Dates are still to be confirmed but they are tentatively November 12 – December 3.  Based on vendor feedback, we are going to run 3 hours, from 5:30-8:30.  Interested vendors can call Amber at 604 487 0868 or Karen at 604 344 0127, or email us at our new email address prnightmarket@gmail.com

At the last minute, the weatherman let us down and after polling the vendors, we called off the final market due to poor weather.  Many apologies to anyone who came down to see us only to find that we weren’t there :(

In the meantime, we are making plans for the winter market.  And we have a new email address:

prnightmarket@gmail.com

As this was only our second year, we are still evolving and learning.  We’ve already had lots of feedback but we’re always looking for more.  If you have any suggestions for improvement, please do let us know.

And we’ll have the usual great variety of vendors plus fire spinners to give a farewell to the 2009 Hot Summer Night Market!  Our second year has been wonderful and we’d like to thank everyone for coming out to spend their Thursday evenings with us beside the sea.  We’d also like to thank our fabulous vendors who have brought such a great variety of goods to delight marketgoers and finally, we’d very much like to thank our sponsors whose support has been key to our success:  Rona Building Supplies, the City of Powell River Parks, Recreation & Culture, and Tourism Powell River.

We’ve learned lots this year and have had lots of great feedback from vendors and marketgoers alike on how to improve the market for future incarnations.  We’re already choosing dates for the Cool Winter Night Market so stay tuned!

See you tonight at Willindon Beach from 6-8pm!
