First Annual Gateway Summer Crafters’ Market YORK The York Region Chamber of Commerce (YRCC) is pleased to announce the first season of the Gateway Summer Crafters’ Market. After the success of the chamber’s farmers markets, the organization felt there was a great need for a similar outlet for craft artisans, allowing consumers to share an authentic, face-to-face experience with local producers. After its debut on July 10, the second market will be held on August 14 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. More than 15 local vendors will be in the lots behind the YRCC building at 1 Stonewall Lane, York, rain or shine. “We received many requests from crafters asking for a market that is similar to the Summer Farmers’ Market held weekly at the same location. We are here to promote local business and offer as many opportunities as we can for them,” said Holly Roberts, executive director of the YRCC. “The July market was small but well attended, and the vendors left happy. The August event has more than doubled with participating vendors.” As of August 10, participating crafters include Bauneg Beg
Farm, offering all-natural balms for the body and pets, bath oils, salt scrubs, and shower bombs; Bonny Mountain Metalsmith, with sterling silver, copper, and brass jewelry; CR Keen Woodworking, providing wood-turned
