Dear :
We are less than two weeks away from the 2010 farmers market season! Opening day is on June 12. The farmers market will have a table at Town Day this Saturday, June 5. Stop by to pick up information sheets, get a free farmers market magnet, and talk to the market manager and volunteers to find out about all of the exciting programs we have in store for 2010.
Several new vendors will join the market this year, including farmers selling eggs, meat, and cheese. In addition to the great music and art that you have enjoyed at the market for the last two years, the market will include some fun and educational new activities this year: cooking demonstrations, nutrition education demonstrations, and a rotating food tent to showcase locally produced food items.
We look forward to seeing you this Saturday at Town Day, at the market on opening day on June 12, and throughout the 2010 season!
Sincerely,
Winchester Farmers Market Organizing Committee
