1 2014 Downtown Gaylord Farmers Market Sponsorship Proposal Package Help support your local Farmers Market! Create exclusive exposure for your business! The planning for the Downtown Gaylord Farmers Market 2014 season has already begun and we are looking for sponsors. The Downtown Gaylord Farmers Market strives to: Support local farmers and businesses by giving them an available outlet to sell directly to the consumer; Enrich the community by making farm fresh in season produce available to customers; Inform customers about healthy and sustainable food choices; Give customers access to locally produced baked goods and food products, and locally handcrafted items; Promote a community gathering spot that creates a festive atmosphere and a community destination. During the 2013 season, hundreds of people flocked weekly to the Downtown Gaylord Farmers Market. The Market not only created an opportunity for customers to buy fresh, locally grown produce; but also to shop for unique handcrafted items, enjoy live entertainment, participate in family oriented activities, and enjoy delicious food. This year the Downtown Gaylord Farmers Market Advisory Board is developing an exciting program of events and promotions that will draw even more customers. We have designed our sponsorship package to offer you tons of benefits and greater visibility for your business. Our sponsorship levels are outlined in the enclosed pages. However, if none of the levels fit your business needs, you and the Market Manager can work together to create one that is better suited for your company. What do you see as the best way to expose your business to the community? If you have any questions or if you want to discuss a more tailored package, contact Market Manager Jamie Newhouse at (989) ; gaylordfarmersmarket@gmail.com.
