Last week, we had a full lineup of amazing special tents. The highlight was certainly another cooking demonstration with delicious samples by chef Josh Truitt. The menu this time included hot dogs, chanterelle mushroom toast, sweet corn succotash, balsamic beets, and melon with fresh herbs - Yum!
We also enjoyed speaking with members of the Women's Club of IUP. They raised money for their scholarship fund by sharing the Club's own community cookbook and free samples of one of the recipes. Jackie Montgomery filled the Artisan Tent with her Terrible Towel apparel, and kids of all ages enjoyed playing and singing with Music Together. It was an awesome market with weather to match!
This week, the fun continues. We are looking forward to seeing a new artist, Charity Brubaker, and her original paintings in the Artisan Tent. The League of Women Voters will be on hand in the Community Tent for voter registration. Finally, we welcome back Kendra Fairman of the Wise Women Natural Health Collective. She will demonstrate how to make fire cider and provide samples. She is also putting together a scavenger hunt for the kids that is sure to be lots of fun. What a great way to explore the market and discover something new!
Our featured vendor this week is Longview Farm and Apiary, and first-year vendor at the market. While Emily specializes in honey and cut flowers, you can also find a variety of tasty produce, beeswax lip balm, and more!
