Good morning,
We cannot thank everyone enough for their overwhelming support and positive feedback we have received this year in regards to the Crofton Farmers Market. We just love to see folks post pictures and tag the market with the products they are using to prepare their meals. We are excited to announce that the Greater Crofton Chamber of Commerce and OBX Shrimp (a market favorite for sure) are teaming up for a MEGA Shrimp and Scallop Sale (see below). A portion of the proceeds from the sale will go back to the Chamber of Commerce as we continue to support the local businesses and community as a whole. So get those orders in and let's sell out! As mentioned previously we want to ensure you that COVID-19 safety measures are being followed: masks are being worn, the patron flow is one-way (marked with arrows), vendors have safety guidelines in place and the fresh air is wonderful (see photos below).
The Crofton Chamber continues to distribute the Crofton Chamber Cares bags which includes a $15 gift certificate to local restaurant establishments. We would love to see more local front line workers "aka heroes" nominated from the community. We will continue to distribute the "Thank You B
ags" over the next few weeks. If you would like to purchase gift certificates for our local heroes
please click here

Or if you have a local hero you would like to nominate

Thank to
Brand Boosters
and
Printing Specialists
for your assistance with this program.
You are also welcomed to reach out to me on my cell phone at 410-897-2069.
Warm regards,
Alissa J Santoro
