Home-Based Businesses Promoted

Some home-based businesses in the Rainy River district are preparing to move into more visible surroundings.

Several of the small businesses will be setting up shop at the Clover Valley Farmer's Market this month.

Jessica Ogden, a Tupperware consultant in Fort Frances, says they want to bring more awareness to the district of these types of businesses.

"I just wanted to build my business," says Ogden, "so I thought there were others in the community who wanted to build their businesses as well. There's going to be a range of people there so it's just a way of letting people know we are out there."

Ogden says they'll be using the market every Saturday throughout the month to determine local response.
