On Sunday the Dauphin Rec Services held their first-ever Spring Market at the Rec Complex Curling Rink.
Tamara Kolida, Dauphin Rec Services Programs and Promotions Coordinator, said the event was a success thanks to all the vendors and residents that came out.
It was a great day. We had, I think, 36 or 37 vendors for the market then we also had the indoor garage sale. From the second we opened the doors it was packed in there. It’s hard to say how many people would have come through in the day but I’m gonna say in the hundreds for sure.
Tamara also said the event was a success and the timing worked fantastically with Mother’s Day being the week after.
I just want to thank everyone for coming out. The weather kinda worked in our favour it wasn’t a super nice day so everyone wanted to come indoors and shop. The timing was right with it was a week before Mother’s Day so I saw a lot of people shopping for their moms and their wives. All around it was a great event.
She also said the event exceeded her expectations and the event will be a yearly event.
It exceeded my expectations as well as all the vendors. The vendors were wonderful to deal with and there was nothing but compliments and good things to say by everyone. The public loved it and I think after being locked up for so long with Covid everyone was just ready to shop. I heard the vendors did really well and they all asked me to make this a yearly event so I think we will.
