Crafters and food vendors have chance to sell products every Sunday in South Fork

On our way home from Mesa Verde, we stopped in South Fork, Colorado at the Visitor's Center that is run by the South Fork Chamber of Commerce. We were surprised to find that the city of South Fork allows crafts people and food vendors to set up on Sundays and run a nice little sale. 

The sale was right on the highway so people traveling west could see it. The very clean bathrooms at the visitor's center for people who just traveled over Wolfcreek Pass, where there are no bathrooms,  gave travelers another incentive to stop and take a look as well. 

Here are pictures of the show:

Ask Organics sold Himalayan salt lamps and vegetables. 

These people had a good selection of Hatch chile products, and sold other spices, birdhouses and homemade soaps and lotions.

I bought some elk fleece from this vendor. She also sold homemade goat cheese and other items.

What ever this food vendor was selling smelled delicious! Unfortunately, we did not have time to stay. We had to get back on the road again, but it was fun while while we were there.

Wouldn't it be great if every chamber of commerce provided a venue for crafters, artists and small business people during the summer months? The people who sell could pay a booth fee that would raise money for the chamber or for another cause. Maybe you could help organize one for your town or city. It might be worth a try!
