Today was the second Saturday that Westport Cohousing had a table at the Farmer's Market, held at the Grange on Main Road. It is a very good opportunity to introduce new people to Cohousing and to the early planning of Westport Cohousing. It's also great practice in the 'elevator speech' - trying to communicate some engaging information about Cohousing in a very few seconds. In addition to our explanations, we have three excellent slide presentations that we show on the laptop computer, along with various handouts. Cohousing members staffing the table wear our buttons that say, "Ask me about cohousing." The new banner shows well - see the photo.
The Farmer's Market is a colorful scene - both outdoors and inside the Grange building. Outside there are small tented stands with area farmers and artisans selling colorful luscious fresh vegetables and fruits, tantalizing bake goods from a local bakery, plants and flowers, dried and fresh arrangements, baskets being made, ...it changes a little each week. Inside there are painters, quilters, weavers, knitters, jewelry makers, photographers displaying their work. Several area non-profit groups are inside as well, along with Westport Cohousing. It's also a good place to catch up with old friends!
