Heidedal kry eie kultuurmark Heidedal kry op Saterdag 10 Februarie 2017 sy eerste kultuur- en entrepreneursmark by die Daisy’s Pot Coffee Shop in die Lee- Marco-sentrum in Heidedal. Die mark sal ’n aandmark wees wat om 18:00 begin en tot laat aanhou. Die organiseerders, Mellow D Entertainment, sê in ’n verklaring die Heidedal Cultural Market is geskep om geleenthede vir plaaslike entrepreneurs te skep om hul produkte en dienste uit te stal. “Die werkloosheidsyfer in Heidedal styg by die dag. Baie matrikulante verlaat Bloemfontein op soek na groener weivelde in stede soos Johannesburg en Kaapstad, maar die meeste bly agter en sit sonder werk. “Maar ons glo dat entrepreneurskap die antwoord is vir werkloosheid is. Om entrepreneurskap te bevorder het ’n paar plaaslike sakelui en politici in 2016 ’n eie sakekamer vir Heidedal op die been gebring, en in 2017 het die Heidedaller van die Jaar-komitee die Entrepreneur van die Jaar- toekenning ingestel. “Om al hierdie pogings te ondersteun, het Mellow D Entertainment dit goedgedink om die Heidedal Cultural Market op die been te bring. ” sê die organiseerders. As jy dus ’n entrepreneur is wat jou produkte en dienste by die kultuurmark wil kom uitstal, bel gerus 073-226-7125 vir meer inligting en om ’n stalletjie te bespreek.
