An invitation to area farmers, producers, vendors and artists:

Life Fitness Management Holiday Market and Art Sale
Friday, December 6 and Saturday, December 7, 2013

Life Fitness Management (LFM) in LaVale would like to invite you to exhibit your products for sale at this year’s “Friday After Black Friday” annual open house.

You may remember previous year’s open houses when, in addition to introducing the community to what it offers to promote fitness – a beautiful gym and state-of-the-art exercise equipment; individual assessments, training and group classes; nutrition counseling and a juice bar— LFM invited local farmers, bakers, cheese makers, artists and craftspeople to exhibit and offer for sale their locally produced food and original artwork. 

LFM has agreed to provide 8’-10’ sq. ft. of floor space, market the event both within the club and locally, and provide beer and wine during the event.  In past years we have had over 200 people attend the event. In return, vendors and artists are asked to remit a commission of 15% of gross sales and to provide a light snack at your booth.  An upfront guarantee of $25 is required to cover promotional costs.

This event has proven to be an excellent opportunity to promote your initiative, sell your wares and educate the community about local providers. We feel very fortunate to have such a large number of wonderful farmers, artisans and artists in our community and welcome this opportunity to showcase your products for sale.  

Please email us to express your interest and reserve a space. We are limiting the event to 20 vendors this year so reserve your spot early if you are interested in participating in this year’s Friday After Black Friday, please email us at [email protected].  We look forward to hearing from you soon! 

Today is a great day - we have a more comprehensive website to connect our farmers to each other, to customers, and to friends! 

Since it's new, we know there are mistakes in here!  Please let us know if you find anything amiss!  Here's where you can Contact Us.

And, as always, we welcome your ideas and comments to make this site more helpful for you!
