Parades, Music, Fun, Food, and a Great Raffle!
Plan to spend a bit of extra time at the market this week as you will want to listen to Bart Sides and his band, Dr. B and the Homemade Band. They will play from 5:00 until 7:00 and you are going to love them. So, stop by and enjoy the afternoon, grab a cup of coffee, linger with your friends and neighbors (or start your Christmas shopping – ideas to follow). Please remember that tips are always appreciated for all our performers.
Our 250th Anniversary Parade is this Sunday at 1:00. Our Agricultural Commission is representing the farmers’ market with a fleet in the parade with the theme, “Growing the Westminster Farmers’ Market”. That is not a mistake, fleet, not float! There will be three floats and seven tractors and farm equipment! And if that is not enough fun, we will be distributing free raffle tickets with a chance at a farmers’ market food baskets and items worth more than $200! (Note that the actual ticket incorrectly states $50) So make sure you ask for a raffle ticket when you see the floats go by. We will put a drop-off box at the farmers’ market where you can leave your entry! The drawing will be on October 9th
