To all of our loyal Sip & Shop supporters:
This is not an easy message to share, but something heavy on our hearts. Our team has made the very hard decision not to host a holiday market this year, and to hang up our hosting hats for awhile. We’re not saying never again but, at this time and in this terribly hard economy, we need to focus on our small businesses, our careers, and most importantly, our families.
This has been one of the hardest years in business, not only for us, but the small businesses we partner with to host a market of this caliber. The highs and the lows have really gotten the best of us all, and we feel the need to pivot and shift our focus back to the basics. We take pride in our markets being unique to most others in the region, bringing you the best vendors to shop from, elevated experiences to enjoy, and a family-friendly atmosphere to share with those you love.
We want to personally thank you all for your support and loyalty over the last 5 years. What started as a very small market at a tiny venue and a push back to Covid, to grow to a market hosting 200 vendors and 6,000 guests taking on the massive fairgrounds, it has been a beautiful ride and we cannot thank you enough! It’s has been our greatest pleasure watching the community plan girl shopping trips, families and little ones all come out for our unique & fiffwenr shopping experience! Thank you for having faith in us, through all the location changes and every step of the way!
Our passion runs deep for small business, and that will never change! We love you all & thank endlessly. See you on the flip side 🫶🏼
Vanessa, Alyssa & Katie 🤍
Huge thank you to Simply Whitney Photo Co. for always going the extra mile with our photos and making them amazing!
Another huge thank you to every other vendor /sponsor we’ve ever worked with over the past 5 years. Your friendship and partnership meant so much to us!
This year we added the car show & a small farmers market! Both blew us away and when the economy really impacted us on the shopping /vendor side which broke our hearts, adding those two really brightened our spirits! The amount of kind things the car show attendees said will stay with us forever 🥰🥹💗
