This program will ensure a better sales day for our vendors and make the most seasonal, fresh, delicious food accessible after work. There are a few important details to know in order to make this a smooth and delightful offering. Number of participants limited. Please read our  After-Hours Produce Newsletter  for more details.
 
Pass this e-mail on to a colleague or suggest they  sign up for their own newsletter on our website. We invite you to come and support your local food producers in the Auditorium Courtyard near the Mackenzie Hall Fountain off Sam Jackson Road near the Plaid Pantry. See you Tuesday from 11:30-3:30!
