STOCKBRIDGE FLOWER & FARMERS' MARKET @ GO BREW
FLOWER & FARMERS' MARKET
SUPPORT OUR LOCAL ECONOMY - SHOP & SELL LOCAL!
We are planting a 6000 sq. ft. garden around the perimeter of the GO BREW drive-thru from which we will sell cut flowers and also have a few crafters and sell fruit and vegetables and other items commonly found at market. Two ladies with a hot dog cart shaped LIKE a hot dog will be there to provide a light lunch and some snacks.
1) We will hold the market for 26 weekends this season, Sat. and Sun. of each weekend, from 7-noon. Space rental will be $15 each weekend, or $7.50 a day. This computes to a seasonal cost of $390 IF you purchase individual weekends for the entire season. OR you may purchase a Season Pass for the entire market season for $260. Season Pass holders will get first choice of the rental space.
2) Flexibility. Our flexibility in allowing vendors to come any weekend day they wish for $7.50 makes it a pretty good deal. We know people are very busy; so the more reasonable we can be, the better. Any rules we make will attempt to keep everyone safe and the lot full each weekend. I want us to have a quality market with reputable vendors selling quality products.
3) Special Events! Our special events planners have some far out family fun awaiting you this summer! One weekend a month during the season, the Flower & Farmer's Market will host a special event for famlies, neighbors, and friends. Watch for further details on our sign out in front of the shop. Unscheduled events are also in the works: weinie/marshmallow roasts, family picnics in the gardens, evening bonfires, and "Music Under the Stars."

GO BREW'S "Hall of Heroes"
Ron Montange is a U.S. Army veteran. Two of his sons followed in his footsteps, both serving in the United States military. Sons Jeff and Michael are Ron's heroes. You can see it any time he talks about them.
GO BREW'S "Hall of Heroes" is dedicated to all our service men and women stationed around the globe. Ron established the "Hall of Heroes" because he knows "FREEDOM ISN'T FREE!"
Please honor us by bringing in a photograph of your family members or friends serving in the Armed Forces! You may also email a copy of a photo to sballer@lobatek.com to have it posted. We would enjoy the opportunity to celebrate them each and every day, and to tip a cup of Jo to them!
