Editor, Gazette-Journal:

We wish to thank all the vendors for a great show at the Independent Vendor Expo. It was a fun-filled event with shopping, food and raffles. Santa even joined in on the fun, having pictures taken by Deanna L. Harris Photography. Thank you to Santa for visiting us. We would like to thank our special guest—the Giving Garden Foundation—for all their hard work in providing assistance for cancer patients in Gloucester and Mathews.

We hope the show brought awareness to this wonderful non-profit organization. Thank you to the community for their patronage and support of the local vendors. We hope to see you again at the next show.
