| Greetings! |
Our first Kids Day of 2012 is almost here!
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.
 Like us on Facebook and stay tuned for the details of our upcoming events. |

Cindy's Cinnamon Roasted Almonds
A German tradition brought to the market. In big copper kettles, watch and enjoy the smells of whole almonds roasting in cinnamon, sugar and vanilla. The crunchy almonds are packaged in imported cellophane wrappers. Along with Cinnamon Roasted Almonds, you will find chocolate coated almonds, a cashew and pecan variety, smoked almonds and more. Yumm!
Wagz n Purz
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!
We're selling them near the kettle corn stands on both sides of the Market this weekend ~ well, Saturday for sure, we just may run out so don't sleep in! Come get yours.
