Looking for Future Board Members
Dear Friend of the Market:
Wanted: New members to help manage the Gatlinburg Farmers Market! We had a good 2014 season at the Covered Bridge in the Glades. This was our first market at this location and our vendors and patrons seemed pleased. We feel that it could be even better in the future and would like to continue offering this community event, however, we need new members to manage the market this upcoming season. Nancy Gray who served on the board the past five years and as President the past couple of years is stepping down, as is founding board member Vice President Allyson Virden. In addition Market Managers Alicea Abbey and Megan Meagher have also resigned. That leaves three board members remaining: Robin Williams, Secretary, Glo Turner, Community and Outreach board member, and Holly Byrd, Marketing and Public Relations Director. Please help solicit new support. If we can’t fill these vacant positions by mid February, we will have no choice but to discontinue this great venue. Please refer any opportunities, ideas, discussions, potential board members to Nancy Gray at GatlinburgFarmersMarket@gmail.com.

Year End Gathering
A public year end gathering will be held on Sunday, Nov. 9 at 1:30 p.m.
at the Gatlinburg Community Center. We would love to have as many of
the market's patrons there who can share their thoughts on the market
and show their support for the coming year, as there will be board
positions to be filled. A light lunch will be served. So we know how
much lunch to have on hand and to set up for the meeting, please be kind
enough to RSVP Alicea Abbey at red_80@ymail.com. Thank you for a great 2014 season.

Local Choices for Healthy Mountain Living
It is with great enthusiasm that we present the Gatlinburg Farmers Market. We are residents of Sevier and Cocke Counties. Specifically Gatlinburg and surrounding towns, who are focused on food, lifestyle, technology, and major event productions throughout our careers. We all selected the Great Smoky Mountains as our home because of the beauty and offerings of the area and the wonderful lifestyle it brings and has the capacity to bring to its residents. The Gatlinburg Farmers Market is a dream and a vision to provide our residents and visitors with fresh, local produce for fair pricing while supporting and stimulating the local economy |
