Get 'em while they're HOT

LIMITED EDITION ADJUSTABLE BASEBALL HATS

We have exactly 100 of these sweet LIMITED EDITION Edgewater

"Cooler Near The Lake" adjustable baseball hats to hand out THIS SATURDAY (1/31)

at Edgewater Indoor Market, courtesy of Edgewater/Broadway SSA #26.

The first 100 shoppers to stop by the Edgewater Chamber table near the entrance to the market and show us proof of purchase of an item from any Edgewater Indoor Market vendor (receipt, email confirmation, or the actual product purchased) at the market will receive ONE free hat.

There are only 100 hats. First come, first served, while supplies last. Limit one per shopper/family.

Thank you to our friends from iCryo Edgewater, Lakeview Roscoe Village Chamber,

and Uptown Chamber for modeling our new swag...

Saturday's Edgewater Indoor Market will also have a super special Chefs Table demo and tasting with our friend Lisa Counts of The Chopping Block right around noon.

Chef Lisa is one of our absolute favorite visitors to our summer market. We've learned so much from her and can't wait to make her Edgewater Indoor Market debut.

Come learn from one of the best teaching chefs in the biz while she dishes out knowledge and free samples, until supplies last.
