Fall in love with Virginia again
It’s time to fall in love with Virginia all over again.
Ruth DiGeorge, owner of A Tisket, A Tasket in the Shoppes on the Village Green in Governor’s Pointe, is bringing back the store’s popular “Fall in love with Virginia” market on Saturday, Oct. 4.
Last year’s event was a huge success, bringing in more than 1,000 visitors to the North Suffolk cul-de-sac.
“It was just the right amount of people, it was crowded but in a good way,” DiGeorge said of last year’s event.
Attendees saw the more than 20 vendors, each of whom have Virginia based products, including gourmet food exhibits, Virginia artists and several additional miscellaneous exhibits that include candles and clothing.
DiGeorge had the idea to feature all Virginia-based companies after thinking about her inventory one day. She noted how many Virginia made products she carried in her gift store, and how that diverse stock could create a great show.
DiGeorge began contacting her inventory providers to see if they would like to set up and exhibit at the market. Then, she solicited the help of the other Shoppes on the Village Green shop owners to get more Virginia-based inventory providers.
This year DiGeorge said she has even more exhibits for the market, thanks in part because local businesses actually contacted her to participate this year.
