The Chamber is seeking youth and adult makers to participate in a holiday retail weekend December 7 and 8.  The events will be held in conjunction with the Fostoria Rotary Christmas Parade to ring in the Christmas shopping season.

 

The Chamber will once again host a Kid’s Christmas Makers Market in the hours leading up the Parade and this year is following it up with a Holiday Sip & Shop at the Fostoria Learning Center which will take place on Saturday, December 7 and Sunday, December 8.

The Kid’s Christmas Makers Market is open to youth under the age of 18 who would like to set up and sell handmade items at their own tables housed in various downtown businesses.

For youth to participate in the Kid’s Christmas Makers Market they must submit an application to the Chamber by Friday, November 8.  All kid maker items to be sold must be handmade, only two like sellers will be accepted and kid makers must provide their own table and chairs.  Kid makers will be paired with participating downtown businesses and will set up in their partner business location during the hours of the market.  Pairings will be made by the Chamber and pairings will not be made that place kid maker and business in direct competition.  The Kid’s Maker Market will run 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., on Saturday, December 7.

Any downtown business owner interested in hosting a Kid Maker may contact the Chamber.
