Every year has seen growth, with the 2009 season being the best in our eight year history, and we look forward to continuing this success in the 2010 season. The various modifications implemented in prior years continue to serve us well and we do not expect any changes to be needed for this next year. As a brief overview of the 2009 season, despite the general economic challenges vendor applications to date have increased and we estimate that our customer base has also grown. The upcoming holiday season Markets show indications of being near or at capacity. We also continue to have strong participation from local non-profit organizations including the League of Women Voters, Freeman-Fritts Animal Welfare Society, Caitloux Humane Society, Hill Country Master Gardeners, American Red Cross, and several church and school groups. We believe more than ever that strict adherence to our original criteria far truly original and unique products continues to enhance the reputation of Market Days. It will always be our commitment to conduct an event which benefits our community and enhances the image of Kerr County as a tourist destination. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions and I will be available to present our proposal to Commissioners Court at the November 9 meeting.
