Fun for the family
The Wertmans said they are brimming with new event ideas they hope to debut soon in the local area. Plans include a spicy food festival in Kingwood, with the date to be determined. “The community itself really appreciates the family-friendly events that we put on so they can come out and do something that’s a©ordable,” Timothy Wertman said. Zac Stayton—owner of honey shop Sweet Wing Gardens, a new vendor at the Kingwood Farmers Market—said he feels JG Events has done a good job of creating new interest in the markets and events. Meanwhile, the organizers of the Humble city events are largely focused on continually improving their new events, including a new Flower Fest that will debut in April, Ortiz said. “The events have been the spark for growth in our downtown along with so many improvements that the city has really invested in,” Wooden said.
