Atchison Farmers MarketFresh, Friendly, LocalMarket E-Newsletter for Saturday, May 23, 2015 Our opening day went well with only a trace of misty rain during the market. We had 19 children enjoying the Art Association’s event and it was nice to have Justin Harris playing for us. The market continues this week with even more produce. The winner of the Open Air Art Fair Bundle Give Away will receive her bundle today at 10 a.m. from our market manager. We do have a change of schedule today. The Juneteenth folks and the “Versatiles” will not appear today, but will be at the market next Saturday, May 30. The monthly Bundle Give Away of produce will continue on the first Saturday of each month. Please register at Lyn Hoffman’s booth, our market manager. Lyn can also assist you if you need to use your credit, debit, or SNAP card at the market. We also accept Chamber of Commerce gift cards and will be accepting Kansas Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program coupons when they are distributed by the Salvation Army in the near future. And, of course, you may purchase Atchison Farmers’ Market gift certificates to give as gifts to your family and friends.
