Vendors from Kenora got together yesterday for a Vendor Blender in the Minis Hall at Super 8. The home business and craft market highlights various panies and products that cannot be sold at the Matiowski Farmer's Market. Organizer Christy Crans explained.
We've got things set up right until the end of November," said Crans.Some of the products included Pampered Chef kitchenware, Mary Kay makeup and Epicure spices and dips. All the vendors had their booths set up to sell their products and introduce the people who wandered through to their panies."We have vendors, crafters, jewellery makers, wood workers and home businesses. It's important to get our names out there. For some of us this is a full time job so getting your name out and getting your product known is very important," she said.Crans said they have more markets set up for various venues in Kenora throughout the spring, summer and fall.The Gleaner-sponsored event, hosted by Marlene Stephenson-Dalley, proved to be a major drawing card for several Montegonians; who turned out to view the kitchenware and enjoy a three-course meal prepared by three of the western region's most acclaimed executive chefs, using a number of KitchenAid appliances.
