Paige Hardy, president of CAEA, said their first market, back in May, was a huge success.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo many neighbors from our Cloverdale community joined us for our first market and the feedback and comments on our social media was amazing,\u201d Hardy told the Cloverdale Reporter. \u201cLots of new vendors this year that seemed to do really well.\u201d<\/p>\n
She said a new candle maker joined the festival this year. She added the vendor has unique candles and shoppers will be able to start picking them up in Cloverdale soon.<\/p>\n
\u201cA gal from our community stopped, chatted, and bought a candle for her mother-in-law and the mother-in-law loved it so much she reached out to the maker and bought a few more candles from her after the market,\u201d Hardy explained. \u201cThen, she got in touch with a local flower shop and showed her the candles. Needless to say the owner of the local business is now going to carry (the candlemaker\u2019s0 items in her store.\u201d<\/p>\n
She said she\u2019s heard so many similar stories from folks in the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this upcoming market, we will have a maximum number of vendors,\u201d she said. \u201cWe are going to expand our food truck area to allow for 14 food vendors\u2014such an assortment of tastes to nibble on. So, hopefully our community shows up and brings their appetite.\u201d<\/p>\n
She said caricature artist Ted Couling will be back June 27. Couling will be offering freed drawings from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. His tent can be found centre near the food court.<\/p>\n
