Haley Leatherwood, Assistant to the Mayor of Youngsville, stopped by First at Four to share the details on this fundraiser and how vendors are still needed.

The Youngsville Holiday Artisan Market will officially kick-off the Christmas season in Youngsville on Saturday, Nov. 30th.
Leadership Youngsville Class V is hosting the Youngsville Holiday Artisan Market to raise money for a community service project to purchase and install seating benches around the new Inclusive Playground for special needs families. The playground is located across from the Youngsville Sports Complex along Detente Road.
The Youngsville Holiday Artisan Market is from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 30th, the day after Black Friday. It will coincide with the Youngsville Chamber of Commerce’s Shop the Sweet Life promotion and Small Business Saturday.
The location of the Youngsville Holiday Artisan Market will be in the field immediately to the left of the parking lot for the Inclusive Playground and outdoor amphitheater.
The cost for a vendor to secure a 10’x10’ tent space is $80. Gift cards donated by local businesses will be raffled off during the event. Santa Claus will be onsite for kids to take a picture with for a voluntary donation, and a search is actively underway to find a choir group to sing Christmas carols at the event.
Here’s a direct link for vendors to sign up.
100% of the money raised will go toward benches for the Inclusive Playground. For more information contact Leadership Youngsville Class V member Todd Billiot 337-322-1367 or Youngsville Chamber of Commerce Director Jessica Willis 337-451-7526.
