Farmers Market at the Green Corner |
 |
After a very successful Farmers' Market last
week and with glorious weather, the Green
Corner Studios and Marketplace is delighted
to welcome back Jim and Patti Schwartz at
this Saturday's Farmers' Market on March 14th
2009 from 10:00a.m. until 1:00p.m.
This Week's Goodies
Last week, Patty's baked goods sold out
before noon, so if you want to enjoy her
sourdough biscuits, Amish Friendship bread or
homemade cookies, plan to get to market on
the early side.
Parking
With so many people stopping at the market
last week, parking became a little
challenging at times. This week we are
pleased to offer you additional parking at
the Kennedy Heights Arts Center (KHAC)
just a
block north and on the same side of the
street as the Green Corner.
If you want to make a difference in your
community and find ways you can get involved
with the Farmers' Market or other new
projects at the Green Corner, please contact
Richard J. Cooke at the Green Corner
Studios
and Marketplace.
Telephone: (513) 910-9875.
