WESTON FARMER'S MARKET NOW ACCEPTING DEBIT CARDS
| |
|
 The Village of Weston Farmer's Market will have the ability to accept Debit Cards through a token program beginning Saturday, July 20, 2013. Tokens will be in $5 increments and there will be a $1 service charge added to each separate transaction. These tokens can then be used at all of the individual vendors at the Market.
The Weston Farmers Market also continues to accept FoodShare (EBT) cards as a form of payment which was implemented last summer with the assistance of the Marathon County Health Department and the Healthy Eating Active Living Coalition of Marathon County. Please look for the sandwich board sign on Market days to purchase your tokens through the Debit and EBT programs.
"The service of allowing electronic forms of payment not only helps Marathon County residents access more local, fresh foods, but it also supports the vendors of the market," says Amanda Ostrowski, Public Health Educator with Marathon County Health Department.
The Weston Farmers Market is located next to the Weston Municipal Center at 5500 Schofield Avenue and is open on Tuesday's and Saturday's from 8 a.m. until produce is sold out through the end of October.

WESTON REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER PARKING LOT REPLACEMENT PROJECT ENTERS PHASE TWO
| |
|
 A significant project to replace the parking lots of the Weston Regional Medical Center is currently underway.
This project is to repair certain defects in the current parking lot surface that became apparent after initial construction. Funding for the repairs was made possible as a result of a collaborated arrangement with the contractor, and the repairs will be completed in phases to minimize inconvenience to patients and visitors.
After completing work on staff parking last week, Phase Two moves to Lot #1 which serves Marshfield Clinic Weston Center. Marshfield Clinic Weston Center patients and visitors are being redirected to the Outpatient Services Lot #2 for access to the building for the duration of this phase of the project.
Visitors to the campus should be aware that the Village of Weston has granted temporary permission for staff to park on the outer lane of Ministry Parkway, Birch Street and Cranberry Boulevard. Temporary signage indicates where this parking is permitted.
Signage and when necessary staff will be in place to direct patients and visitors to temporary parking locations as each lot is replaced. Additional volunteers and signage will assist with way finding once patients and visitors have reached the building.
The latest information on the project is available on the Ministry Saint Clare's Hospital Web Site at: http://ministryhealth.org/SCH/home.nws
Weather permitting; the project is scheduled to be completed by mid-September.
