traduce you to some of our
vendors.

Now perhaps it would be nice if
it were easier lo find some of

- This article is directed to people

_ Setting up stands at the market or

anyone interested in making a

, sign.

“ T recently atterded a workshop
““Sigmge do's and
don’ts’’ and thought I would pass

-- One ‘some of-the information ‘for

those vendors wanting to hang
outa sign,

When making a sign remember
to be clear on 3 points. WHO
YOU ARE - WHAT YOU DO -
WHERE TO GO. Keep it clear
and uncluttered. Make the most
important information stand out
first.

Keep in mind the difference be-
tween marketing and advertising,
Marketing is giving the feeling.
ie. “best apples in the world.’
Advertising is the direct informa-
tion. ie. ‘Apples — 3/$1.""

Build a sign appropriate to what
you are selling. For example -
keep it country style for a country
market..

Colors are important. Stay away
from purples and browns. Black
and white stand out well, Light
colors on a dark background
stand out well,

‘Don’t make a difference in the ©

thickness of lettering. It makes it
hard to read. The space between
letters should be at least the same
thickness as the lettering. Letters
4" x 3” are the best Proportions
for lettering.

If your sign was to be read by .

someone passing by in a car at
5Om/ph the lettering would need
to be 1 foot high.

To make a wooden sign, cut let-
ters: out of “‘signblast.”' Stick the

- letters on wood; Cedar is: best.

Sandblast and then lift off the let-
tering. The letters will stand up
from the sandblasted wood.

Or you can cut letters out of
shelf paper, stick them to your
sign and spray paint, Then lift off
the letters.

A paint called ‘Oneshot’ {it’s an
oil paint. available through
Bensons graphic supplies) is a
good paint for hand use.

MDA plywood has a plastic
surface and is very smooth to
work on. Polycurathane works
well to weather proof your sign,

T hope some of this information
will be helpful for anyone want-
ing to make.a sign.

Just a reminder, that no dogs
are allowed at the Fanmners
Market. Also no kittens or pup-
pies are to be sold or given away.
‘A permit is in place for the sell-
ing of small live stock,

Flea market and garage sale
items are not to be sold at the
farmers market, They can be sold
at flea market, at the same loca-
tion on Sundays.

The primary aim of the Farmers
‘Market is to promote local pro-
duct and produce. A Farmers

. Market should stay to 50% farm

produce, to be a real farmers
market. ;

The Farmer’s Market starts
every Saturday at 9 a.m. in the
parking. lot acrass from George
Little Park. Lynne Christiansen is
a vendor at the market and a
member of the market board.
