September Farmers Market News

A BIG THANK YOU to USA Communications!   After the devastating flood of August 26th and 27th, the Farmers' Market was displaced, so the great folks at the phone company were kind enough to allow the Market to use the east end parking lot.  It has proven to be a wonderful location with easy access, a more even surface for walking and plenty of room for the vendors.  With early setup by some of the vendors, the folks at the phone company are opening the windows for "carry out" orders.  The market will continue in this location through the end of the season which is October 14th. (Full story)

EAT EAT EAT… Saturday Pancake Breakfast. We will continue the pancake breakfast at the Legion Hall through the spring. The breakfast is a social occasion as well as a family meal. We ask that people make an offering to cover the cost of the pancake batter, sausages and drinks. We never want the concern for money to keep anyone away. Watch for the sign in front of the hall to see if the breakfast will be superceded by another event. We want to thank all the people who get up early on a Saturday morning to make the Pancake Breakfast each week.
