💥📢 I HAVE A CONFESSION TO MAKE… 📢💥
As a coordinator of this market and other local events, I’m fortunate to receive a lot of kind words about what I do. And while I appreciate every single one of them, there’s something I need everyone to know:
❤️ I’m not the one who makes these events successful — THE VENDORS ARE! ❤️
I may organize the chaos (there’s a reason I’ve earned the nickname “The Chaos Coordinator” 😂). Still, none of this happens without the incredible small businesses who trust me enough to follow me and show up week after week for the customers who love them!
These vendors spend countless hours creating their products, preparing for events, loading vehicles, setting up booths, and braving the heat, cold, rain, and everything Tennessee weather throws at them. Many are doing all of this while working full-time jobs and raising families.
THEY are the reason you come. THEY bring our community together. And THEIR booth fees are what pay for the free activities we’re able to offer our customers at these events! ❤️
I started doing this because I wanted to create something positive for small businesses and our community — something that brought people together. While I do all of this free of charge, seeing that happen is more than enough payment for me.
But I’m simply the person organizing it.
The vendors are the ones who make it happen.
So to every vendor who has trusted me, supported these events, showed up, helped out, laughed through the chaos, and become part of this market family:
💙 THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! 💙
You make what I do possible. You make it fun. And you deserve far more credit than you’ll ever know.

❤️ SUPPORT SMALL. SHOP LOCAL. THANK A VENDOR. ❤️
