Market for July 28: Kidpreneurs, Kids’ Activities, Returning Vendors, Parks Feedback

 

The East Lynn Kidpreneurs have had successful first three weeks!

Bonjour Bonbon and the Baking Bros delighted the market with their tasty treats. The Creative Crew and Orin’s World showed everyone that age isn’t a factor in becoming a professionally paid artist or a published cartoonist. And last week, we enjoyed handmade rings from     and delicious chocolates from….

The kidpreneurs have donated almost $200 to charities of their choice so far!

This week’s Kidpreneurs: KC Treats with baked goods and Sasha’s

Thank you Clifton Corbin for this update and for making this happen at our market!

Other happy market news:

Franglish Gourmet cheeses is staying on at the market for the season. Everyone has their favourites, but this writer is super-keen on their truffle gouda. Delish!

Son-in-Law produce has switched to weekly instead of bi-weekly — great news for you corn, potato and callaloo lovers!

The Back40 is back this week with beautiful flowers, and Jiggy Popz will be on hand with delicious popsicles made with in-season fruit.

In the kids’ tent, we are excited to welcome back Circle Time with Em this week. We will also have a rock-painting activity for kids, courtesy of Silly Goose Kids.

In the DECA tent, Toronto Parks and Forestry will be on hand from 5 to 7 to hear your suggestions for Bob Acton Park and the Oakcrest green space.

This is a wonderful time of year for fresh produce and enjoying the neighbourhood. See you at the park!
