First Some Good Market of 2016!

Hi everyone!  We've all been really busy during our "down time" since Christmas. In case you missed it, our $20,000 goal in food and cash for local food banks was surpassed last year...that means we've upped the ante for 2016 to $25,000. Admission is free at Some Good Market but if you could bring a non-perishable food item or a monetary donation that is always appreciated. The Community Food Sharing Association and food banks in Bay Roberts and area put all those donations to good use!

For our first event of the year, we have TEN food vendors! Bring your appetite for:
Gluten-free Treasures
Jewish Deli
Flour of Scotland
NL Seasonings

Some Good Year in Review 2014

Another year over...and it was some good!
In 2014, there were 34 Some Good Markets in five venues in three communities. We continued to go to town, we said farewell and thank you to Makinsons and started a great partnership in Bay Roberts.
We welcomed thousands of visitors and hosted almost 150 different craftspeople who showcased food, textiles, jewellery, sealskin, wood, paper, fibres, clay, words and more in so many creative and wonderful ways!
We held workshops and special events within our regular events.
We also partnered with the Community Food Sharing Association and local food banks in the Fall and we collected a combination of food and cash valued at $6124.30! We don't think a goal of $20,000 is out of reach for 2015 :)
I'd like to thank each and every one of you for your support in sharing a Facebook post, retweeting a tweet, telling a friend, visiting a market, buying something, giving a ride and doing anything to keep craft of all sorts alive in our province.
Here to some good goings on in 2015!
