We want to say "Thank You" to the American Legion Post 36 for fixing our grill! The grill is used for our Host Groups at the market and other events! This was such a wonderful gesture, and we are truly happy to have this organization as our Hosts at the West Bend Farmers Market! 

Wow Thank you Mother Nature for holding off on the rain today! 
Thank you to all of the wonderful guests that make our market so great! It was a great day, and I was glad to see everyone's smiling faces!

Be sure to VOTE for the West Bend Farmers Market on our website or use the QR code located on posters and signs throughout the Downtown West Bend. Currently, we are #1 in the State, #3 in the Midwest and #10 in the Nation! Keep those VOTES coming, we want to be #1 across the board! 

Dogs in the market - We know that in the past, Dogs were not allowed in the market, with the City and Downtown Businesses becoming "Dog Friendly" we decided to let dogs into the market on a trial basis. If your dog likes children, is friendly and trained, they are welcome into the West Bend Farmers Market.
Please DO NOT bring your dog into the market to train, as this is not the place for your animal, and you will be asked to leave the market.
Also, as a common courtesy, please refrain from letting your animals be near the vendors' products and tables. 
Car Movement in the Market - Vendors please be advised that cars may not be in motion, within the barricades between the hours of 7:00am - 11:15am. This is for the safety of our guests and vendors. The West Bend Police Department has asked that we enforce this safety measure as well as have vehicles parked at all entrances to the market as a barricade. 
​"Absence from the Market" Reminder- Please be sure to let the Downtown West Bend Association know of an absence from the market, as soon as possible. If you need our cell phone numbers, please contact me at events@downtownwestbend.com and I will get that information to you. 
​
Thank you and have a great weekend! Our Community Rocks! 

Thank you to all our wonderful vendors for making this a fantastic year!  The community and us here at the Downtown West Bend Association are so grateful for each of you. 
You are what truly makes the market the success it is!   

Last Month we entered a contest with American Farmland Trust.  The first place winner of this contest get $5000.00.  This money would greatly help the market - new tents, signs, tables etc... 
The contest would also bring NATIONAL  recognition to our market which would in turn help all of us. 
Please make sure to share the contest on you social media, websites and post at your stands.  Here is the direct link:
