On top of the yummy local food vendors this week we have a focus on fitness in our Community Wellness and DECA tents:

  • DECA Tent –  Lillian Salmon will be talking about her recently published book called Living Slim: A Canadian Woman’s Way. Lillian says: “East Lynn Farmers’ Market was launched by a tiny group of intrepid Canadian women filled with idealism, hope, and a profound determination to make the world a better place, starting in their own backyard. I’m thankful, and I couldn’t think of a better place to introduce this book to my community.”

And if you like your fitness paired with more fun, we’ve got you!
