A day at the
Brewery
That’s what we decided to call it.
What started to be a crisp nippy
morning turned out to be pleasant
sunny day. A couple venders were
there when I got there at 9:00, and
the rest of approximately 11 vendors
showed up promptly after that. We
were all set up and ready to go by
the 10:00 am posted starting time.
This was held in conjunction with
one of the gift shop’s “Seasons at the Brewery” regular sales. They usually
have them on weekends that also have events going on in New Ulm, as this
weekend was Hermann’s Fest. If you don’t know the history of Hermann,
be sure to look it up on New Ulm’s website. We set up with tables lining the
entrance to the gift shop, which proved interesting for both visitors and
vendors. We sold 30 plus raffle tickets to people we may have never
reached before. Not surprisingly, most
of those had never heard of us before,
it was a good place for PR. Owners of
the Brewery and gift shop, David
Harmening and Jane Richert, were
pleased to see the additional traffic.
Several local residents that had seen
our ad in the local Shopper, came
seeking information or for appraisals
of their “treasures” that had been in
their home for years. One such person
was Jerome Zitzman of rural New Ulm,
that brought a nicely preserved 100 plus year-old framed art of a 1923 Val.
