NO FEES UNLESS WE WIN. WE’RE BACK NOW AT 1122. THIS WEEKEND, THE SHERMAN PHOENIX MARKETPLACE IS CELEBRATING A MAJOR MILESTONE. JOINING ME NOW IS ROMERO MCCANTS. ROMERO IS THE INTERIM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AT SHERMAN PHOENIX ROMERO. THANKS SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. A SEVEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION HAPPENING AT SHERMAN PHOENIX THIS WEEKEND. BEFORE WE GET TO THE PARTY AND THE CELEBRATION, TELL ME ABOUT THE SHERMAN PHOENIX. FOR FOLKS AT HOME WHO MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH THIS. SO THE SHERMAN PHOENIX IS A MARKETPLACE FULL OF LOCAL BUSINESSES. WE HAVE CREATIVES, WE HAVE COOKS, WE HAVE HEALERS AND COMMUNITY PEOPLE THAT ARE JUST THERE TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY. AND SO YOU’RE CELEBRATING SEVEN YEARS THIS WEEKEND. TALK ABOUT THE LAST SEVEN YEARS AND WHAT YOU’VE SEEN FROM THE BUSINESSES THAT HAVE BEEN IN AND OUT OF SHERMAN PHOENIX. SO THE LAST SEVEN YEARS HAS BEEN AMAZING. I MEAN, SINCE WE’VE OPENED IN 2018, OVER 60 BUSINESSES HAVE CALLED SHERMAN PHOENIX HOME. SO WE ARE JUST LOOKING FORWARD TO HONORING OUR PAST, BUT ALSO LOOKING FORWARD TO WHAT’S TO COME. YEAH, AND I HATE TO SINGLE OUT ONE BUSINESS SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY WHO HAVE BEEN SO SUCCESSFUL, BUT TRUMAN MCGEE FOLKS MAY KNOW FROM THE FUNKY, FRESH SPRING ROAST STARTED IN SHERMAN. PHOENIX. YEAH. SO HE STARTED BRIEFLY BEFORE SHERMAN PHOENIX. BUT HE REALLY HIS STANDALONE SPOT INSIDE SHERMAN PHOENIX REALLY KIND OF TOOK HIM TO ANOTHER LEVEL. AND THAT’S WHAT YOU GUYS REALLY HOPE TO DO, IS TRY TO GIVE THESE BUSINESSES KIND OF THAT FOOTING. DEFINITELY. WE ARE A LAUNCH PAD FOR SOME. WE ARE SOME TO GIVE STABILITY AND SOME JUST STAY BECAUSE IT MAKES SENSE. YEAH. THAT’S FANTASTIC. SO TAKE ME THROUGH THIS WEEKEND’S CELEBRATION CELEBRATING SEVEN YEARS OF THE SHERMAN PHOENIX AREA. 636 IN FOND DU. YEP. SO IT’S SEVEN YEAR CELEBRATION OF OUR ANNIVERSARY, AS WELL AS A FUNDRAISING EVENT. SO WE WANT YOU ALL TO COME OUT TO CELEBRATE WITH US. WE’RE CELEBRATING THE CULTURE, COMMUNITY AND COLLABORATION, WHICH IS WHAT WE DO ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS. SO THERE’LL BE LIVE MUSIC FROM A LOCAL ARTIST NAMED MEL. ANOTHER GROUP, THE HUGHES, WILL BE PERFORMING FOR US. THERE’LL BE A RAFFLE. WE HAVE A VERY ROBUST RAFFLE THAT YOU ALL CAN PARTICIPATE IN AS ANOTHER WAY TO GIVE, BUT THERE’LL JUST BE A LOT OF THINGS FOR YOU ALL TO DO. THERE’LL BE A PHOTO BOOTH, PHOTOGRAPHERS, COMPLIMENTARY DRINKS, A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING. BUT WE WANT YOU ALL TO REALLY COME AND JUST SEE US AFTER THE CELEBRATION IS OVER. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. AND OF COURSE, THERE’S A BIG FUNDRAISING PIECE TO IT BECAUSE WE WANT THE SHERMAN PHOENIX TO BE THRIVING IN THE COMMUNITY FOR SEVEN MORE YEARS AND BEYOND THAT AS WELL. SO YOU GUYS ARE ACTUALLY LAUNCHING A FUNDRAISER AS PART OF THIS ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION. DEFINITELY. SO, SHERMAN PHOENIX MARKETPLACE, WE WANT TO REMAIN SUSTAINABLE IN THE COMMUNITY AND ALSO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE THAT PROGRAMING THAT WE’RE KNOWN TO PROVIDE FOR SMALL BUSINESSES IN THE COMMUNITY. SO YOUR GIFTS AND ALL YOUR GIVING AND DONATIONS WILL REALLY PAY A PIECE AND IT’LL JUST PAY IT RIGHT BACK FORWARD INTO THE COMMUNITY. YEAH. I DON’T KNOW IF YOU GUYS PLAN THIS PURPOSEFULLY OR IF IT JUST SO HAPPENS TO BE THIS WAY, BUT THE CELEBRATION IS HAPPENING ON SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY, SO IT MIGHT BE A GREAT PLACE FOR FOLKS TO STOP BY AND MAYBE GET A JUMP START ON THEIR HOLIDAY SHOPPING. DEFINITELY. WE’LL ALSO BE HAVING A BLACK FRIDAY BIG VENDOR MARKET ON THIS COMING FRIDAY. BUT ALSO, IRONICALLY, IT FALLS ON SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY, WHICH IS RIGHT IN LINE WITH WHO WE ARE.
