Editor, Gazette-Journal:

We would like to thank all the vendors who participated in the Independent Vendor Expo on Friday night. The event held at the Mathews firehouse was fun, with all types of vendors, food, demonstrations and goodies.

We would like to acknowledge Trish Foster for all her help in setting up for the expo. The grand door prize winner—Beth Haywood—received products from all 24 vendors. Thank you to our special guests, The Giving Garden Foundation. TGGF is a non-profit organization providing assistance to cancer patients in Gloucester and Mathews counties. We are proud to support them and urge people to visit their website for more information: www.thegivinggarden.org.

A big thank you to all who stopped by and shopped the vendors’ booths. Please look for more details coming soon on the next, much bigger and better, show in November—just in time for Christmas shopping.
