Mermaid's Market

During the winter of 2011-12, many local residents and visitors alike enjoyed the Farmer's Market here in Peñasco. As the fall of 2012 came upon us, it seems as though there would not be a return of the Farmer's Market, so we began thinking about hosting a similar event.  

We thought about some of the obstacles that existed for the Farmer's Market. And we  discussed how we could - hopefully - work past many of those same obstacles.  

One was the lack of "Farmers!"

Well, we would call this the Mermaid's Market... 

Problem Solved.  

Mermaids are not often seen anyhow... 

so if they don't show up it will not come as a surprise to anyone! 

And, besides, who knows what mermaids sell - or buy for that matter! 

(I am pretty sure they buy and sell wonderful treasures, though!)  

 

 

On a more serious note is the need for the Market to be easily seen.  We chose a highly visible spot as our first choice (with a "Plan B" in the back of our mind) . . . 

And we are absolutely thrilled that we are able to use the "Shrimp Park" as the site for the Mermaid's Market!  We now receive a use permit from the city which is granted on an annual basis, so we hope to continue the Market each year!

The booth space fee will, in part, benefit our local DIF which gives needed assistance to local vulnerable families and children.  The fees will also be used for extensive advertising and promotion for each event.  So come and check it out!  And spread the word!
