With the month of August already half-way over, it seems like summer is quickly slipping away, but there are still a lot of events to look forward to at the farmers' market! This Saturday we will have Nap's Cucina Mia chef Nick Karas presenting a food demonstration using fresh market produce and giving away some delicious samples. Nick will be at the market by 9, so mark your calendars, you won't want to miss this!
There are talks under way about the farmers market vendors being present for the Northern Appalachian Folk Festival, a two-day event held right here in Indiana the weekend of September 6-7. Vendors may be selling along the 500 block of Philadelphia Street, which is going to be closed off to traffic during this festival. Check back soon to see if our vendors will be selling at the festival too.
Remember to tell your friends and family about the Farmers' Market Customer Appreciation Day, September 21, with a wide range of activities, live music, all our vendors (plus some), and market freebies!! One more event to look forward to is the Indiana Community Garden's fundraising event on September 28. The garden will be pairing with Cozy Corner Cafe and will be having a salsa taste testing event at the market, all donations will go to the Indiana Community Garden.
It's an exciting time of the year and a very busy time of the year (back-to-school, the Indiana County Fair, etc), but please make time in your busy schedule to come check out the market and support local foods and vendors!!!
