Farmers' Market Under New Management:
Main Street Welcomes Shawn Edwards as new Farmers' Market Manager

The 2010 Puyallup Farmers' Market will open its doors on Saturday, May 1st and leading the team this year is new Market Manager, Shawn Edwards. Edwards took over the position in November and has been busy getting acclimated to the Markets' operating system.

He comes to the Main Street organization after working nine years as the General Manager of Famous Dave's BBQ restaurants. Originially from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, Edwards moved to the Puyallup area in 2005. He and his wife Lily have three children Fernanda (age 16), Fernando (age 12) & Georgina (age 7). 

With his rich history in event management Edwards has some exciting ideas to bring more activities and entertainment into the Market weekends. He is currently putting the finishing touches on the new vendor applications so look for those to go up on our website in January. He also is orchestrating the 2010 Celtic Faire scheduled to take place March 13th.

An Open Letter to the PMSA Farmers' Market Vendors:

I’m Shawn Edwards, your new PMSA (Puyallup Main Street Association) Farmers’ Market Manager.  I’m very excited to be joining the PMSA team and look forward to solidifying relationships with our current vendors as well as developing new partnerships.  We are already busy preparing for our 2010 market season.  As we look to our upcoming season it is important to review what has made our Puyallup market a success in the past, as well as developing new and innovative ways to draw an increased customer base.  I realize how important consumer traffic is to your business and am invested in making our market a success for all partners as yourself.  My hope is that we will have open lines of communication that will allow us all to share in the rewards of a vibrant market.

As the market season draws closer, we will have an orientation meeting for all vendors to meet and share ideas as well as address any concerns and review policy.  I’m already working on an events calendar to share with all vendors as we prepare for the upcoming market season.   I will support you and our other vendors as we make 2010 the best market season yet for the Puyallup Farmers’ Market.

I look forward to meeting you as we look to a rewarding and profitable 2010 PMSA Farmers’ Market.
