Promotions Committee The Promotions Committee is responsible for promoting the general image of downtown Waynesburg and creating top of mind awareness among patrons for its offerings. The committee also conducts special events and activities designed to attract people into the area. Waynesburg Farmers’ Market Another successful season of the Waynesburg Farmers’ Market concluded on October 14, 2009. The market was held every Wednesday beginning May 13, from 3 to 6 p.m. in the American Legion Parking Lot on East Greene Street. For the past five years, the Farmers’ Market has provided an opportunity for farmers and gardeners in Greene and Washington counties to sell locally grown fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs directly to area residents. The market has also featured baked goods and locally produced meats and eggs, as well as wine and apples. During the 2009 season, a Farmers’ Market wall -hanging quilt was raffled to raise funds for the market. The quilt, which was on display at the information tent throughout the season, was designed by nationally known quilt designer Pat Sloan and made locally by Waynesburg’s market coordinator Carol Patterson. John and Jean Gusic were selected as the winners of the quilt during a drawing held at the Farmers’ Market on September 23. Patterson, who served as the market coordinator since the Farmers’ Market started in 2005, retired from her volunteer position at the conclusion of the 2009 market. Carol dedicated more than 600 hours of service to the market, and WP&B would like to thank her for all her efforts in the community. Sponsors for the 2009 market were: Observer-Reporter, Dale Property Services Penn, Community Bank, CONSOL Energy, Greene County Conservation District, PA Services Corporation, Toothman Dental Center, Specialty Herbal Products, and Logan Law Office. Sheep & Fiber Festival The 6 th Annual Sheep & Fiber Fest was held at the Greene County Fairgrounds on May 16 and 17, 2009, to celebrate the heritage of sheep, wool and fibers in Greene County. The festival featured a juried crafts show and sale featuring vendors from throughout the region, many demonstrating and selling fiber-related wares. The Sheep & Fiber Fest was sponsored in part by PNC Bank and the American Lamb Board. One of the most popular activities was the “Sheep to Shawl” demonstration in which several teams were in a timed competition to create a finished piece of woolen apparel. Spectators saw the process from the actual shearing of the sheep, cleaning and carding of the wool, then spinning and weaving into the finished shawl, all in one quick assembly-line operation.
