Grand Opening a Huge Success!

The Grand Opening of The People's Market of Lansing was a huge success! The store was busy the entire day and people had nothing but wonderful things to say about it. They were so happy to have a store in Lansing and were thrilled to be able to buy from many of their friends and locals! We had a good number of sales and virtually all vendors had sales that day. We are out there and people plan to be back.
Thank you to all who donated prizes and volunteered time. Thank you to the vendors who came and circulated. People genuinely wanted to know who made what items and were very interested in the products. Melanie Towner was handing out Vemma samples, Kathy's Granola had samples and Stacie Kropp from "Straight from the Kitchen" had some delicious mini-cupcakes.  People snacked and talked all day!
And most of all thank you to the people of Lansing for supporting the artisans at the People's Market! Pictures to follow! :-)
