Pop-up Shop Updates

Cheap Thrills has scored some more fantastic bedding deals. Jonathan wants you to know: “We have a BOATLOAD of new bedding items coming in this week. All are new from 2 department store chains although the packaging may be missing or damaged. So if you love packaging this may not be for you…

Most items are 50-75% off actual retail prices or better. Like $230 Memory Foam Mattress Tops for $25…that’s almost 100% off” Woo! Who needs packaging anyway?

Cheap Thrills have made an adjustment to their hours and will be closed on Sundays starting this week.

In This Closet have also tweaked their hours this week. They are now open Mondays (11-7) and closed Sundays.

And finally, there’s still time to complete your Pop-up Passport for a chance to win a big bag of awesome FREE stuff.  No purchase necessary, just get your passport signed by the participating stores by July 31. The prize packs include:

You can pick up a passport at the Thursday East Lynn market or in any of the stores mentioned above.

DECA’s latest round of pop-up shops will be open for up to 6 months on the Danforth. Get all the SHOP DETAILS here. Please support our community’s efforts to revitalize our commercial strip by taking some time to visit and support these exciting pop-up enterprises.

Farmers’ Market: Last Week & This Week

Well last week was a blast!  The Food Truck Festival was such a success.  So much so, they kinda ran out of food a bit early!  Thank you to all shoppers who came out to try the tasty treats and to the extra volunteers who made the day a success.  And apologies to those who showed up later and the selection was limited.

In farmer news, did you know there is a new vendor at the market with blueberries and flowers?  Now you do.  Also, the corn is simply amazing right now; another new farmer is selling locally grown harvested and created organic skin care products (From the Meadow); and check out the picture of the $10 mixed fruit basket.  A whole lot of reasons to go to the market this week!

This week, T.O. Ceviche Bar will offer a Ceviche Demo this week from 5:00pm to 7:00pm. Their Creative Food Directors Alvaro Valencia and Sean Lacey will explain how to prepare ceviche using fish, lime juice, ginger, limo hot pepper, herbs and seasonal greens and fruits.  They’ll be coming with samples!   Bring your adventurous appetite for ceviche, gluten-free sweet potato and quinoa burgers (served on roti) and fish anticuchos (Peruvian kebab) at promotional prices.

If you’re looking for a fire extinguisher or carbon monoxide detector, stop by the community booth to learn more about fire prevention and safety and enter the draw.  There will be stuff for the kids too!

Finally, bring your adventurous little ones for the 4:30pm craft with Mrs. Darling.  This week she’ll be running some water gun painting!

Food Trucks Invade East Lynn Park Farmers’ Market

Food Truck Festival

While you’re picking up your fresh, Ontario produce this week, why not stay for dinner? We’ve invited some food trucks to our lovely market. They’ll be featuring some of the delicious produce, like potatoes, strawberries and tomatoes, from the farmers themselves.

The food trucks will be along East Lynn Avenue.

If you’re wondering what’s in it for the wee ones this week, we’ve got that covered too. Our friend Dan Yashinsky, storyteller extraodinare, will be at the market at 3:30 pm making our children’s imaginations pop and faces glow as he tells interactive and entertaining stories. Then, at 4:15 pm Hannah Naiman will get their little bodies dosidoing and swinging with their partners for a Family Barn Yard Square Dance. Yee Haw!

This week will also feature music from local talent – Kanuckistan! They describe themselves as a Root-blues, international folk and original music band. Sounds interesting!
