Here are some reviews from previous vendors:
2021 - Present
ALICIA MCDONALD says "I always attend the Blackfalds Market as a patron and this time I was a vendor. Everything was so well organized and thoughtful. I had such a great time! It was so nice to see everyone. Cheers to the next one! WildCat Thrifting WILL be back!"
CANDACE MARIE says "I had such a great weekend at this market! It was my first time attending and I was blown away by the other vendors and by the high traffic volume of customers. Definitely hope to attend the next one as well! Thanks so much for organizing such a great event!!"
CHELSEA TAYLOR says "This was my first Blackfalds Market and I hope to be able to do many more!! I can't even begin to express the gratitude I have for the amazing market managers It was such a great weekend getting to see so many of my favorite vendors but being able to meet incredible new ones as well! 100% the best market I've gotten to attend, thank you all so much!"
SUE NIELSON says "I had a great time at the market! I had heard good things about it and you definitely didn't disappoint. Great organization, perfect location, and friendly, approachable management! I would love to do it all over again!!"
CHERENE L COLBY says "This was the 1st time I had the pleasure of joining the Blackfalds fall market. I have to say my experience there was probably one of my most favorite experiences yet in 5 years of doing markets. The atmosphere was pleasant and positive. The organizers were very efficient and kind. The extra little perks that go along with this market such as the water bottle, snack bag and the vendor tag and more, set this market apart from the rest. On day 2 my daughter's boyfriend and friend volunteered to watch my table for me for the day as I had a family celebration of life to attend for a recently passed family member. Even they had an amazing time and really enjoyed themselves, which I think speaks highly to the atmosphere of the market. Even the simple addition of having a vendor designated bathroom made everything run smoother. I had a really great time and I hope to do it again in the days ahead. I also pretty much sold out of product so on the next one I'll have to be sure to bring more caramels. Thank you to the hard working and efficient organizers. You rock."
JANINE ROCKWELL says "What an incredibly well organized event!! I have attended multiple times, both as a vendor and as a shopper. Hats off to the three of you for all of the amazing work you do, and always with smiles on your faces. The vendor selection is fabulous and there is always a lot of traffic. We cannot thank you enough for all that you do, and we are most certain that the foundations that you support are so thankful for you too!! We look forward to seeing you again and working with you in the future!! NICKOLE PIMLOTT says "This was the best event I have ever been too. The staff were great and did an amazing job organizing it.
