Farmers’ Market Update
The Farmers’ Market is headed back downtown for the warmer months!
Opening Saturday May 8th, the Market will once again take up residence in the parking lot at 90 Broadway (across from Town Hall). This temporary location was chosen to maximize the number of vendors while complying with Public Health Guidelines for social distancing.
We expect 28 vendors for opening day, and since the Market is celebrating 30 years this year, we are planning a scavenger hunt for kids with a chance to win a basket of Market goodies. Hope to see you all there!
Save the Date! Virtual Member Meet-Up May 11th @9am
Prior to COVID-19, our Monthly Member Meet-Up’s were a chance to get to know each other, learn from guest speakers, and welcome new members. We have really missed getting to connect and share with you in this way and are excited to announce that starting next month, the Meet-Up’s will be back in a virtual format!
Mark your calendars for Tuesday May 11th at 9am.
We will start with an informal chat - it’s been so long, we need a chance to catch up with each other and hear how everyone has been keeping! We will then meet a few of our new downtown members and listen to a presentation from a guest speaker.
More details coming next week, stay tuned!
