Atchison Farmers’ Market
Market E-Newsletter for Saturday, September 28, 2013
8 a.m. to 12 noon
Autumn has arrived with wonderful weather. We can open the windows and let the cool breeze in our houses. Autumn has arrived with more apples, squash, pumpkins, pears, and chestnuts (see the delicious recipe below). Come get your produce from the market this Saturday.
Starting next weekend, we will have an end-of-season survey for you, our faithful customers/friends. We want your thoughts on what the market has done right this season and how we can do better in the 2015 season. Start thinking about the Market!
Jessica Kaczek and her uncle, Steve Lacey, will play violin/fiddle again for us this Saturday. Stop by to enjoy their great variety of music.
Lynn Hoffman is back from vacation and will be giving away the last Market Bundle Give Away this Saturday.
Musicians are welcome to play at the Market. Just call me (Betty Fischer) so I can advertise for you (913 709 5050) if you want to play on one of the last market days. We are open through Saturday, October 19.
