The weather couldn’t have been better last Saturday for the annual DECA Yard Sale. Thank you to everyone who participated, and to everyone who donated to New Circles and Kennedy House Youth Services.
This Thursday’s Market
It’s finally strawberry season! The harvest was off to a slightly slower start this year, thanks to a coolish May, but it’s on track now – and nothing announces summer’s arrival like the sweet, aromatic strawberry.
This week at the market we are having our first ever accessories swap. If you’re looking for something to zhuzh up a summer outfit, stop by and have a browse. There’s still time to drop off your finery if you haven’t had a chance yet. Bring your scarves, belts, sunglasses and jewelry to the market between 1:30 and 3:30 pm.
In anticipation of National Indigenous Peoples Day on June 21, we welcome Rainbow Woman Teachings to the Kids’ Zone. Through story books, crafts, song and conversation, the knowledge keeper from Huttonville, Ontario, will be sharing her Anishinaabe teachings with young and old.
Pegasus Community Project will be at the Community Booth along with Woodgreen Community Services. Pegasus provides adults with developmental disabilities meaningful activities once they finish school. They celebrate 25 years of inclusion this year! Woodgreen offers more than 75 different programs that help improve the well-being of the community.
On the musical front, we have the “bluesy alt-rock/power pop” sounds of Toronto-based singer/songwriter, Chris Scian.
And, of course, don’t forget to shop! In the popup tents we welcome back 2 popular vendors from last year. Wholesome DeeLights brings us their healthy AND delicious small batch, artisanal nut butters, pesto and roasted nuts while The Spice Drawer provides us with spice and herb blends sure to become kitchen staples. Our featured brewery this week is Fairweather Brewery, the Hamilton-based craft brewery.
See you at the market!
