With 18 merchants under one roof, it was the perfect recipe
for success! Bree McConnell the organizer of the event and
a volunteer with Spirit of Athens brought in various vendors
from food to exercise and clothes to makeup for a tremendous
turnout and lots of fun!
The event brought in home based businesses as well as
merchants from the downtown and off Highway 31. Everyone was
allowed a 10x10 space to showcase their products and services.
