As always, we’re looking for volunteers to help. Extra cleanup help after the parade will be especially welcome this year….skip the gym and toss pumpkins instead!
It’s been an incredible 2014 season at the East Lynn Farmers’ Market. Each week we were offered great food from friendly farmers, along with a blessing from the weather gods with the majority of Thursday’s being rain-free. But now it’s time to say good-bye and thank you as this will be the last week of the farmers’ market for 2014.
We would like to send out a HUGE DECA thank you to all the volunteers who made the market happen each week. These amazing people donate their time to help set up tables, paint children’s faces, cook and serve dinner for the farmers, answer questions and promote DECA, run children’s activities and clean up the tents and tables afterwards. We hear from a number of farmers that our market is their favourite and no doubt it’s because of the great vibe that gets created by the volunteers and, or course, the shoppers!
Please be sure to come by to stock up your freezers and cellars and to say farewell for the season!
