Black Business Hub wraps up final Winter Market

MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) – The Black Business Hub hosted their final Winter Market bringing together local businesses, entrepreneurs and families for an afternoon of holiday fun.

There was lots to see, do and eat. Christmas carols sang by Leotha Stanley and the smell of cuisine from local chefs filled the air. Visitors also had the chance to check out unique gifts and take pictures with Black Santa.

Saturday marked the third time the market was held and organizers said that the community has enjoyed it, especially the businesses.

“The businesses are very excited to have a place to come and sell their goods,” said Ruben Anthony, the president and CEO of the Urban League of Greater Madison. “They’re also excited to have a place where they know that they can have access to capital, where they can have trainings that they can now participate in, and that they can meet investors and just have the space that they can call their own.”

Anthony said he is already looking to the next year to host similar events and encouraged entrepreneurs to reach out if they are looking to get a head start on their business.

“We want to continue to be a resource, not just for south Madison, but for this community as a whole,” Anthony said. “We have training programs to teach you how to start a business, how to grow a business and we have a lot of resources in the building.”
