Haymarket Day is coming and bringing thousands of customers.Look for Our Banner at the HGBA Booth
Saturday, September 18.        

HGBA wants to help put your business in front of thousands.

We have a jumbo booth this year, outfitted with a fun toss game.

Here is how to put your business’ name into people’s hands:

  • Contribute goodies for the toss game. We are looking for prizes from keytags with your logo to gift cards/coupons to merchandise and gift baskets, whatever you want. Players with a sharp aim will toss a coin and win your prize. The money goes to CASA.
  • Re-gift your unwanted flower vases, glasses, and mugs for the game. We’re looking for a variety of sizes. They will be given away when the game is done.
  • Volunteer for a one-hour shift to staff the booth or run the coin toss game and display your business marketing for that time.

    Hours: 8am – 5pm including setup and takedown. If you have items or time to donate, please contact Chris Ammerman, (703) 625-4730, chris@zenquility.com as soon as possible. Thanks!

We are offering a Blue Plate Special because you have taste.

Calling all restaurants. We know you need to have an ample staff to keep your patrons happy and coming back for more. We also know this may be 6 people on one day and 16 the next.

So we at HGBA are extending a special offer to our area restaurateurs. When you join HGBA your annual member dues are only $120, regardless of size. Now that makes more sense than dollars.
