Last Farmer's Market

Last night we had our final market of the season. Don't be too sad though, we are moving forward. Coming soon (mid-September) Tuesday Nights!

We have a new street fair to help us through. Tuesday Nights! will be held on Tuesdays from 4:00 to 7:00 pm in Downtown Gridley. The streets will be blocked off for businesses, crafts, food, and farmer's to sell their wares.

As for last night, we had a great time. A full park, great music with Ben Taylor, yummy food from the Lighthouse Tabernacle Junior group, a dunk tank, and a home made ice cream contest.

Big congratulations to our Ice Cream Contest winners Mimi Wise in first with her Fresh Lemon Ice Cream, Jenny Johnson in second with her Cherry Almond Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, and Diane Krosivic with her Strawberry Banana Ice Cream. It was tough competition between 5 entries. They were all so good, and refreshing on a warm evening.

Thank you to everyone who has been there to support the Farmer's Market this season, it's been a blast!!

We look forward to seeing you at Tuesday Nights!

Don't forget the Uptown, Downtown, All Around Town Yard Sale on October 4. There are 20 entries so far and it's not even September.

I almost forgot, tonight is the General Meeting and pot luck. The agenda includes a year in review, Farmer's Market report, election of a new board and more.
