Market night offers coupons to customers

A new promotion for the San Bernardino Farmers Fair and Market will give patrons a chance to win coupons that can be redeemed at the event.

This is the first time market night organizers have offered coupons to draw customers to the event.

"We're trying something new," market night manager Cheryl Margolis said.

Organizers plan to hold drawings for $100 worth of coupons tonight. Customers can register between 6 and 6:45 p.m. at the Patrons of the Roosevelt Bowl Booth for opportunities to win the first half of the coupons and between 7 and 7:45 p.m. for opportunities to win the second half.

Patrons of the Roosevelt Bowl president Susan Lien Longville said the drawings will be held at market night events during May. She expects organizers to issue coupons through October, but they may change the way customers receive coupons.

Longville said the coupons may entice customers looking for a chance to get $5 worth of fresh produce for free.

San Bernardino Farmers Fair and Market night is held from 6 to 9:30 p.m. on Tuesdays until the end of October at Perris Hill Park, 1001 East Highland Ave.
