Manage & plan each week's market vendors and activities. I create a weekly map to reflect the vendor attendance, communicate important information for all participants, and information needed for everyone to be successful.
I also run 4 signature events (Kids Day/Teen Fest, South Town Music Fest, Medina Fall Festival and Candlelight Walk) and help run Promotional Events (4 Ladies Night Out, 4 Cars & Coffee, etc.) to support our local economy. In all that we do, we strive for all of our businesses to be glean from the visitors we draw in and to always support shopping local.
In the past 5 years working with Main Street Medina, I have gone from Part Time Farmers Market Manager to Full Time Events Director. I have grown the programs under my realm to the best of my ability. I have most seen a benefit from the community outreach meetings to build some of my personal aspirations for my events. Letting Medina shine, creating truly small-town community events our residents can be proud of and using our events to benefit our community as a whole have been in at the center of everything I do. I am thankful for Main Street Medina, as well as the City of Medina, Medina Co. Commissioners, Medina Co. Visitors Bureau and Medina Chamber of Commerce for the constant support needed to make our plans come to fruition!
I am proud to be a part of the awards/attention my events have received. I love that they have won and been acknowledged, because I truly believe they are the perfect representation of how Medina is best when it comes together to create something amazing!
