Fresh Sheet: June 3, 2015


Save Some Room for a Food Truck Dinner!
Join us WEDNESDAY in the Terwillegar Recreation Center Parking Lot from 4:00-7:30

As fresh market vegetables slowly begin to trickle in from the fields, now is the time to be creative with that rhubarb! There's nothing better to accompany an evening shopping for local food and crafts than a delicious dinner from a food truck! Let us know how you're liking our food truck line-up this year on our Facebook and Twitter pages. 

Join us here on the "Market Fresh Sheet" every Tuesday to see what's fresh and happening at your favourite farmers' market!

And remember, please leave Fido at home- no dogs are allowed where food is being served!
