FARMER’S MARKET BRINGS NEIGHBORS AND FRESH FOOD TOGETHER.
If you haven’t had a chance yet, walk down to the weekly Farmer’s Market on Saturday mornings on 42nd Ave E- east of the tennis courts. The vendors continue to grow in numbers with a few more expected in the coming weeks. Tomatoes are ripening and more summer produce and fruit are reaching their peak!

THE MARKET CONTINUES EVERY SATURDAY MORNING 10-2 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 27TH.
Saturday, August 16th the Emergency HUB will be holding an abbreviated version of their drill in the park, which will dovetail with the last part of the Farmers Market. Brochures will be at the FoMP table at the Market.
