Welcome to the Haunted Market FOOD application
ABOUT ME
In the autumn of 2016, I embarked on my entrepreneurial journey while juggling a demanding full-time corporate job. A persistent feeling of something amiss nudged me to seek a path aligned with my true passions. Thus, with courage as my companion, 15 Monkeys came into being. Witnessing a remarkable growth trajectory from its inception, my business has metamorphosed into its current form. Crafting bespoke home accents and seasonal delights, my creations have found homes across the expanse of the United States. Drawing from my prior corporate role overseeing sales and marketing for a substantial enterprise spanning Rochester and Buffalo, coupled with a wealth of experience orchestrating numerous successful events, along with a profound understanding of social media and online dynamics, instills in me an unwavering certainty of this event's triumphd. I have always been a huge fan of Halloween some may even say obsessed. I even have a whole shed dedicated to Halloween props. So when this idea came about it was a no brainer to combine my love of Halloween and business expertise. Last year we had over 4,000 people attend and almost every food truck ran out of food (some 3 times over). In fact one truck even ran out of ketchup. I expect and bigger and better attendance this year, since the response was overwelming.
