Gove County Economic Development Office

GRAINFIELD — Beginning Sept. 20, you will have the opportunity to spend every first and third Saturday of the month enjoying “A Little Bit of Country” as you sample homemade goodies, get a great snack, buy gifts, try out new small business ideas, buy fresh fruits and vegetables, look for a special collectible, find a unique gift or browse flea market style booths.

Gove County will open the Gove County 4-H Building, 757 W. Third, Grainfield, for a fun shopping and eating experience called market Place. As the new project grows, organizers hope to include such items as homemade baked goods, fresh-grown “Farmer’s Market” produce, gadgets, jewelry, collectibles, great snacks and foods, antiques, small garage sale items and more. There also will be a Holiday Fest, beginning Nov. 1. Hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Vendors, nonprofits, schools, 4-H clubs or other agencies are invited to have booths at the events, and help is being offered with marketing and other business issues.

Gove County Economic Development is sponsoring the first three dates, and there will be no booth fee for Sept. 20, Oct. 4 and Oct. 18.

Exhibitor packets can be picked up at the Gove County Economic Development Office in Quinter, the county Extension office in Gove. They also can be emailed. For more information, contact Jodie at (785) 754-2214 or [email protected] or Jen at (785) 938-4480.
