It is with heavy hearts that we must let you know that we will be postponing the Talent Evening Market and the Free Movies at the Commons until 2025. We know that these events have been an important earning opportunity for local micro-business. We also know how much they mean to our sweet little community. This decision was an incredibly difficult one for us, but it is the only one that we feel that we can make.
We want to make it clear that we are an ALL VOLUNTEER organization. No one receives any money for the time and effort they put in, though you'd never know it with the incredible amount of hours that the TAG Team puts in each year.
Going into 2024, we are down to just two core members of the organizing group and it is simply too big of a job for us to do without additional helping hands. We put out a call for volunteers, but were unable to get solid time commitments from enough people to make it work. There are also several other factors out of our control that have contributed to us making this decision. This includes, but is not limited to, challenges in the personal lives of the organizing crew. As a result, we do not have the forward funds or the dedicated people power to make the market and movies happen this summer.
The good news is that we are ALREADY working on a plan to relaunch the Talent Evening Market and Free Movies at the Commons next year. We have many ideas about how to come back strong and we are doing our best to engage with other community organizations to make sure that our return is abundantly successful. If you want to join the TAG Team and participate in planning the 2025 Market/Movie Season, please let us know, we'd love to have you be a part of making it all happen. We *DO* hope/plan to put on the Talent Holiday Market this year.
Thank you so so so much for your understanding and support.
We know this is a big bummer!!! We appreciate you all!!!
