| Dear Market Supporter,
The sun is shining and the birds are singing! And coincidentally (a fortuitous coincidence, indeed) it officially turns spring on Saturday. Can you think of a better reason to get outside and get to the market than to welcome its arrival?
By the way, there are only two more markets to get your "$25 for 25" Raffle tickets. The drawing will be held at the April market, so be sure to get yours either this Saturday or before 11:30 am on April 17.
See You at the Market-
Beth Knorr

In need of lamb for your Easter feast? Great American Lamb Company will be joining us this Saturday, so you can get your fresh, local lamb. Spice of Life Catering will be cooking up some tasty sandwiches using the lamb, so you can try before you buy.
Are things a little dull in your kitchen lately? Kevin Noon is ready to sharpen your knives! Drop them off and they'll be ready when you're done shopping. Klimo's Family Farm will have dahlia bulbs available- make your garden smile! And, to help out with your garden irrigation, we have Hinckley Boy Scout Troop 520 joining us with rain barrels. They'll be bringing bird houses, too.

We are in the midst of our 'don't buy food from strangers film series. First up (on Tuesday) was What's On Your Plate. Last night was Eating Alaska. Thanks for all who came out! Our final movie on April 27 is Asparagus! Stalking the American Life.  It will be shown at the Akron-Summit County Public Library Main Branch at 6pm. The best thing about these movies is they are FREE!!
Contact Katie for more information, or to arrange a private showing for your group. |
