The Chamber Ambassadors for the Hope-Hempstead County Chamber of Commerce joined Hope Farmer’s Market this morning to host the Hospitality Table and share with market patrons info regarding the upcoming Watermelon Festival. Ambassador Deanna Gilbert said she and the team were excited to be hosting today. “We are always glad to be here and support our local farmers and vendors, “ she said, “but we are also thrilled to be able to share news about the upcoming festival, especially the headliner for Saturday, Rodney Atkins.” Gilbert said some favorite vendors will be returning to the festival this year, in addition to a few new booths, and there will be tons of contests and competitions for people to join. She said more information can be found on the chamber’s
