The figure represented a new attendance record for the weekly event, hosted by The Winnetka-Northfield-Glencoe Chamber of Commerce. Continue reading here…
TESTIMONIALS
A quick note to let you know we had a great time at Farmer’s Market today and talked to sooooo many folks about our chapel concerts who hadn’t known about them! We were very prepared with signage and handouts (we made small takeaway cards with our QR code to get tickets and concert schedule included. What a reach for us especially with so many young families and new residents. Scott, they all raved about the fest so I think we’re making an impact! We also liked being next to the live music tent – it worked well. Hope to do many more. I have a feeling that with the 4th being midweek this week many families were out of town, but there was still a steady flow ..
Happy weekend,
