Market Notes

It’s the time of season when it’s an abundance of  food on our farmers tables and being produced by our food artisans.  It’s definately tomato time, get them while you can – and do some canning or sauce making with them. Fruit is still on, so buy lots and freeze lots to enjoy during the off-growing season.  Flowers, well we hope that they can continue till early October – cross our fingers for good weather for everything!  Don’t forget to enter the monthly basket draw if you spend over $20 at market!

Congratulations to Leah for winning our August Basket Draw, the first one of the 2019 Season. Oh my what a bounty haul, as you can see and by the big smile on her face.  Included was the re-useable cloth bag, with x5 tbfm buttons, gets to keep that sweet basket and the Garlic Festival (Sept. 15th) donated two tickets!  Okay folks, keep shopping and keep entering because the next draw is Sept. 24th.  Eligibility can be be found on previous post.

Spend $20 or more each market day you are eligible to enter the monthly draw for a basket of market goodies.

The vendor you spend over $20 with will supply an entry slip to eligible customers. If the vendor has over looked a slip for you, because they do get busy, come on over to the organizers tent and for one. Also, if your spending is shared over a few vendors, not to worry, one of our trusted volunteers will ‘eyeball’ your market shop to verify.

Next, CLEARLY WRITE YOUR NAME & EMAIL ADDRESS ON THE BACK OF ENTRY FORM**. Then, fold and place it in the entry box at the organizers tent. You can enter up to 4 times a month! Wow.

**By entering the ‘Monthly Basket Draw’ contest, the winner(s) agrees to a pre-arranged pick up time of basket by the next following market day of monthly draw date. Baskets will be pre-filled prior to arrival with market goodies by management and must be accepted as presented.

The draws will happen on the last Tuesday of month except for October.
Draw dates 2019: Aug. 27 & Sept 24 & Oct. 22

Hey, don’t miss out on this super popular happening in the park. Grab some of TCs Tibetan Momos and picnic before it starts – at dusk.   There’s a bike valet, so do not lock to young trees!  This is super important. As well as pick up after yourself too. #nolitterbugs
