Re: Gilmanor Are there items for sale other than birds and animals? A friend and I have started a small screen printing business- we design and hand-print graphic tees. I'm wondering if Gilmanor would be a good place for us to go and sell some chicken tees in the fall?

Make a flyer with some info and post it wherever you can. Maybe some local merchants will allow you to post your flyer in a window, or look for bulletin boards around town that allow the public to post notices- your library, post office, grocery stores, parks? Hand them out at your farmers'...
