Sponsor the 17:10 Market

2023 Market Forecast

  • 45-50 local makers and growers
  • Activities for families, including a petting zoo, campfires, face painting
  • 10+ food vendors
  • Several thousand attendees

Because 17:10 Market is a labor of love for local makers and the community, we rely on sponsors to help us cover many of our expenses. This allows us to keep our fees extremely reasonable for our participants.

Photography

Each year, we partner with a local photographer. The goal is to capture photos for the makers and us to use in future advertising.

How do we recognize sponsors?

Signs at the market

18"x24" signs are placed around the market recognizing each of our sponsors. Typically, each sponsored “item” gets a sign. (i.e. fire pit sponsors on a sign by the fire pits, tent sponsors on a sign outside a tent entrance, etc.)
