Tired but Happy


Wow, the Fair was verrrrryyy long. Six Nights in a row, till 10 pm, and late getting home and unloading was exhausting. But we made it ! All of us at GFM want to thank those that made it by to see us at the Fair.

We sold quite a lot of veggies, fudge, crafts and soaps while there. Made new friends, said hello to old ones.

Still surprised how many did not know we are under the livestock pavilion, but now that they know they will be coming to see us too. So please share with your friends, family and acquaintances.

We welcome new vendors, and new customers always.

Thank You,
Your GFM Vendors
