Neighbours, the time has come for the very last East Lynn Farmers’ Market of this season.
Today, we’ll have facepainting, friendly DECA volunteers at the DECA Table and reps from the City seeking input about the Danforth Ave Planning Study. Please make sure to come and support the farmers, even if you are unable to stay (or if it’s raining).
Come by and tell your favourite vendor how much you appreciate them!
As the market season comes to a close, we have to say thank you to all of our farmers and vendors who make the whole market possible, along with the folks at Farmers’ Markets Ontario and especially Yuri, our market manager. There are so many volunteers who we cannot thank personally, but huge shout out to the volunteers who staff the DECA table (who also help with set-up and clean-up and many other tasks!), the facepainters, the organizers, the bloggers, and the kind souls who cooked for the farmers this year – many of whom answered our desperate, mid-summer plea when we had a daunting number of empty slots. Our market is special because of all the love that goes into it, and in turn, all the love that comes out of it.
Special thanks to Alison McMurray and Rebecca Green, who are there week after week and who can be seen around 3pm and 7pm most Thursdays schlepping things up and down the hill from and to the shed (and answering questions like “Why is there no corn in June?” with a smile on their faces) and to Shelley Darling who books the community table, the bloggers and generally keeps track of who is where week after week.
See you today from 3-7 at East Lynn Park!!
- Note: If you can’t make it today or would rather provide feedback to the City online, a feedback form is now live on the study’s website (www.toronto.ca/danforthstudy), with a deadline of October 23, 2017. All responses received will form part of the consultation related to the material originally presented to the community on September 14, 2017
Does your family have a budding singer in grade 4 or older who has always wanted to sing in a pop choir or band? If so, you are in luck! The Music Project is looking for singers for their Senior Choir happening Tuesdays at 5:30 PM. Kids in the senior choir will have the opportunity to audition for THE BAND PROJECT— small bands working together with singers, guitar players, drummers, and piano players — happening at 6:15 PM on Tuesdays. In THE BAND PROJECT kid musicians will work with professional musician mentors to learn how to form a band and showcase their skills, plus there are lots of performance opportunities throughout the year!
