Woodlawn to launch farmers' market
Market to open on Mothers' Day
Woodlawn Museum, in conjunction with the Downeast Business Alliance, is pleased to announce that it will launch a year round Farmers' Market this spring. Last fall local farmers approached Woodlawn about the possibility of a market, prompting a December "holiday" market. The interest from vendors and the high market attendance indicated that a year round market could work.
While it is hoped that the market will draw more people to the property, the market should benefit from the strong public presence already at Woodlawn. The planned start date for the Woodlawn Farmers' Market is on Mothers' Day, May 9th from 11 am to 3 pm, and then will continue each Sunday thereafter. For more information please click here.

Woodlawn 2010 Annual Appeal
Nearly at $50,000 goal
Woodlawn is just shy of its $50,000 Annual Appeal goal. With programs that connect people to the traditions and culture of Downeast Maine and with more people than ever before using the property for recreation, reaching Woodlawn's $50,000 Annual Appeal goal has never been more important.
Now we need your help to continue making Woodlawn's programs and grounds available to the public. Please contribute to the Annual Appeal. Your gift, carefully managed to maximize its impact, will help ensure Woodlawn's role as a community resource. Please click here to contribute. Thank you! | |
