Are you ready to celebrate the official end of winter and look towards the warmer weather of the summer? We are too! Come join The Mission Continues of Pittsburgh (Hazelwood Platoon), and our partner Hazelwood Initiative, as we do some spring cleaning in preparation for the Hazelwood Summer Marketplace. The Hazelwood Summer Marketplace provides a low-risk opportunity for small and local businesses to set up shop. Hazelwood Initiative has been running this outdoor business incubator for over 5 years because storefronts are limited in Hazelwood. The Marketplace allows local businesses to practice their business model and gain a following. In recent years, the marketplace continues to be rented out, but has received less attention than before. However, beginning this summer, Hazelwood Initiative wants it to be more of a hub of activity. This would benefit the vendors with more customers, as well as the community with more activities. Hazelwood Initiative has decided to reactivate the site, giving a lot of time and attention to it once again. This summer, the site will be host to vendors, fairs, concerts, etc. and needs to be brightened up. To activate the site, Hazelwood Initiative is hosting a Summer Marketplace Clean-Up. The clean-up will mainly consist of painting the stands, a stage, and some storage sheds in a fresh and bright coat of paint. Some miscellaneous trash and overgrowth maintenance might also be in order. Hazelwood Initiative will be providing lunch for all registered participants. This event is open to all ages and abilities.
