    Getting two of the busiest Sarahs together was a year in the making. But, we made it happen!

    Join in the conversation with Sarah Frost of Making Local Markets - a carefully curated vendor market that takes place 4x each year in Bothell, Washington in the spring, summer, and fall. Sarah knows that she's not in the farmers market business just like I'm not in the high-end vendor event business, but our jobs have a LOT in common.

    In this episode, we talk about vendor tips, strategy, frustrations, customer quirks, and all of the things in between.

    You can find Sarah on several channels linked below:
