Sarah McElrea of "Summa Salts" was recently awarded the RAM Maker of the Year. Sarah's contributions include:

As Summa Salts, Sarah brings a weekly joy and energy to the Riverside Arts Market that not only uplifts her business, but the Market as a whole. At RAM, we often talk about visitors seeking both a product and an experience. Sarah, a former teacher, certainly knows how to capture an audience. It is not unusual to catch her in action, explaining her unique seasoning blends to a new customer, or catching up with a frequent shopper: one of her “Saltines.” Her reach goes beyond the 10x10 tent: Sarah frequently uses her social media following to highlight her fellow vendors, or showcase RAM on a walk-around live stream. She also collaborates with other vendors to offer mystery prize packs, grab bags containing a surprise variety of salt and a small item or coupon from a fellow RAM business. Over the past year, these mystery packs have expanded to include a $5 RAM token through sponsorships from local businesses, facilitated by the RAP Development team. Sarah’s care for local businesses and local food shines in these collaborations and we are proud to announce her designation as the RAM Maker of the Year.
