The March Downtown Art Market is here, Saturday morning. These in-between times seem to grow shorter every month. It looks like its going to be a chilly start but will warm up nicely. Y'all know how the weather is in Lubbock. Looks like we'll have 30+ Artists and Growers and the turn out is always good. There are some really cool places to see the DAM logo in town now and those really cool LED billboards are some of them. Thanks to the A-J for that one. Come join them at the DAM this month!
We'll be aiding the Lubbock Rape Crisis Center this month with publicity for the "Walk A Mile In Her Shoes" fund raising event. Lots of fun and word has it that Larry will don the heels this year.
Community spirit Folks, that what drives the DAM, y'alls commitment as vendors and supporters alike, those are the blocks that we will continue to build on. We start our second year in a couple of months and want to bring it up another level-music needs to be added to the mix, artistic demonstrations, another cooking demo-the list is limitless. Anyone have any ideas-tell us. we listen. this is as much for our enjoyment as it is for anyone's...lets keep it up.

Slightly Soggy September
Well Marketeers we did it again...despite the ominous radar and the off and on drizzle, September's Market went very well. Although attendance was down, we still had around 600 folks, and there were some competing events most importantly The Cowboy Symposium.
It was in the words of one of our vendors still a great day. People were carrying sacks of Artistic works as well as fruits and veggies. The cool weather did add a nice calm to the whole event, it was less frenzied and there seemed to be a lot more interaction with Marketeers and Customers. That to me shows that the DAM is as much a community social event as it is a Market. That is a wonderful unexpected bonus to the effort.
Coming up in October we will be blocking part of Buddy Holly to traffic and setting up some stands in the street, this is the first step into making some of the Markets into full blown street festivals.
We hope y'all enjoyed our strolling musicians Wade Parks and Bobby Saied, we have wanted music as apart of this since the start. Thanks Guys.
Lets face it folks Art , Food and Music all make the World a better place for us all. Keep up the good work and we will too.
