Greetings!
Our first Kids Day of 2012 is almost here!

Tiger Belly Bouncer

 

Join us Sunday, May 13th, 9am - 1pm 

for an entire lineup of activities including:

* A Scavenger Hunt  

* Free Craft Activity for the kids sponsored by Do Good Diapers

* Free Special Gift to make for Mom!  

* Free Helium Balloon

* Balloon Animals

* Tiger Belly Bouncer 

* Special music with KMOJ DJ Chaz Millionaire

* Free Pictures with Elmo!  

* And more...    

 

 

We know it's Mother's Day ~ that's WHY we chose May 13th to launch our Kids Day celebrations.  'Cuz every mom knows their favorite place to be is one where their kids can be occupied and happy and excited over the little things in life, like a colorful helium balloon tied to their wrist.  Or the chance to jump on the belly of a tiger. 

   

Or better yet, the chance to make mom a special gift!

 

I'm really bad at keeping presents a secret, so indulge me if I give you a clue: it involves paint and spinning and a controlled environment so you'll still want to claim your kid when it's time to go.  I promise it's fun for them to make and a treasure for you to keep.  Can't beat that!

 

Add us to your weekend plans.  We're open Saturday and Sunday, 6:30am to 1:30 pm. 

It's FUN!  It's Local!  It's what we're all about.

Music at the Market with Sonny Ray

Sonny Ray is back for another session of easy listening music here at the Farmers Market Annex. 
If you missed him all winter like we did, you'll want to be sure and stop by!


Sonny has been performing live at clubs and parties from Miami to Minnetonka.  His many years of experience performing with bands has enabled him to play all the instruments you hear on his backing tracks.......hence the one man band.

Is your pet feeling left out when you come back from the Market with all of your goodies? 
Wagz n Purz has just the answer!  They have a variety of yummy treats that your canine or feline friend will find irresistible.  We already know your dog will show his appreciation, but these are so good, and good for them, that even your cat will show that he missed you!  

Morel Mushrooms are HERE, in Abundance!

The season is just too short for these tasty little guys ~ but because of the fine weather we've been having there here right now!
