You really can\u2019t beat the in-person experience,\u201d said Lauren Richard, ANCA small business services coordinator. \u201cWhen buyers are able to meet the makers face-to-face and see, smell and touch a wide variety of local products, it\u2019s easier for them to make decisions about purchasing, plan for their upcoming sales seasons and add more local goods to their inventory.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Despite concerns earlier this year about hosting a large in-person event, ANCA Executive Director Elizabeth Cooper said the show\u2019s timing now seems optimal for regional business owners who are preparing for a busy 2022 season. Gov.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Kathy Hochul\u2019s recent decisions to end mask requirements in businesses and schools reflects an easing up of pandemic-related restrictions and public health concerns across the state. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cVisitors and shoppers will be returning to our towns and villages in large numbers this year,\u201d Cooper said. \u201cNow more than ever, locals and visitors are eager to support small businesses and help them bounce back from the pandemic. Adirondack Buyer Days creates a win-win-win for local shops, their customers and the artisan businesses they support. We\u2019re so glad ANCA can provide this interactive experience again for our region\u2019s businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Richard said she enjoys seeing products made by show vendors in stores across the region, like The Crow\u2019s Nest gift shop at The Hedges on Blue Mountain Lake. The Adirondack Great Camp, which offers lakeside lodging, fine dining, outdoor activities and cultural programs, stocks its shop with a variety of locally made gifts.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAdirondack Buyer Days is great for connecting with a wide variety of regional artists and craftspeople who offer beautifully made products,\u201d said Lynne Croucher, co-manager of The Crow\u2019s Nest. \u201cThis is a valuable resource for us to maintain our focus on U.S.-made merchandise and small businesses. We\u2019ve found a number of vendors that we\u2019ve returned to for their wood and metal works, ceramics, jams, posters, mugs, holiday ornaments, candies and more. And there are always new ones to meet, which makes this a must-attend event for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Richard said she finds the camaraderie among artisan vendors inspiring and contagious.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWatching these small business owners meet each other, come up with new ideas together, and coach each other along the way is what Buyer Days is all about,\u201d she said. \u201cThe buyers and makers who attend this show care about each other and the long-term success of our region\u2019s small businesses. Seeing these relationships develop and grow is truly inspiring, especially during this time that has been so challenging for many businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ANCA\u2019s 14-county region includes Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Fulton, Hamilton, Herkimer, Jefferson, Lewis, St. Lawrence, Saratoga, Oneida, Oswego, Warren and Washington counties.<\/p>\n<p>Retailers are invited to register before the show, which will take place at the Saratoga Springs City Center on Tuesday, March 29, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Wednesday, March 30, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Questions about the event may be directed to Richard at lri&#99;&#104;&#97;&#114;&#x64;&#x40;&#x61;&#x64;&#x69;&#x72;&#x6f;nda&#99;&#107;&#46;&#111;&#114;&#x67;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Adirondack North Country Association (ANCA) will hold its Adirondack Buyer Days, an annual business-to-business trade show that features the work of artisan makers from across the Northeast, in an in-person format later this month in Saratoga Springs.\u00a0 As the COVID pandemic loosens its hold on New York state, businesses and communities, regional retailers are [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":89,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.6 -
