Welcome to the August 15 issue of the Winchester Farmers Market newsletter.

 

The Family Action Network will be holding their annual backpack drive at the market this week. Please see the details below, and consider donating a backpack and school supplies.

 

You may have noticed the great-looking farmers market T-shirt that some of the market volunteers have been wearing. Many have you have expressed an interest in the T-shirts, so starting this week, you can buy your own Winchester Farmers Market T-shirt at the market manager's tent.

 

Stop by the market manager's tent to support the Rotary Club by entering their 50/50 raffle--the winner will get 50 percent of the proceeds of the raffle.

 

You can check the farmers market website for additional information about the market, including vendor profiles, frequently asked questions, and the schedule for artists, entertainers, and community groups. Visit the website for Sustainable Winchester, the sponsor of the farmers market, to get information about current projects, monthly meetings, and volunteer opportunities.

 

Remember that the market will take place rain or shine throughout the season. Try to bring your own shopping bags to the market, and please ride your bike or walk to the market if you can. If you drive, park your car in the Aberjona or Shore Road lot to leave parking spaces surrounding the common open for short-term parking near downtown businesses. The Aberjona lot, which runs along the commuter rail track across from the post office, is free on weekends, including the permit spaces in the end of the lot.

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday on the common.
 
Sincerely,
Winchester Farmers Market Organizing Committee
