This evening (Wednesday), from 5 to 8 p.m., the Broadway Community Market is hosting a special Back-to-School Evening Market to celebrate the beginning of a new school year. We have an incredible 17 vendors registered, including two food vendors, live music, and a line dance demonstration in addition to local produce, fresh flowers, artwork, handmade gifts, and more! Make sure to pick up a bingo card to fill out for a chance to win some prizes too.
The garden seems to know I have two markets this week and has provided a bounty of produce (okay, it probably has more to do with the mild weather last week, but the timing couldn’t be better). Here is what you can find at my table this evening, and likely on Saturday as well:
- cucamelons
- cherry tomatoes
- slicing cucumbers
- tomatoes
- bell peppers
- jalapenos
- garlic
- zucchini
- beans
- garlic salt
- crocheted items
The cucamelons, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, and cucumbers are great for make-ahead lunches for kids and adults. And I’ve been working up lots of crocheted bookmarks, both more flower bookmarks and new little sprout bookmarks, that make great gifts for students, teachers, and bookworms.
Our previous evening markets this summer were huge successes and a lot of fun, so come join us! Make sure to also follow the Broadway Community Market on Facebook and sign up to receive these farm updates in your inbox (see sidebar), if you haven’t already, to make sure you know about future special markets as well. We have the Broadway Autumn Festival coming up, and last year we had a fun trunk-or-treat style market in October, plus holiday markets after the regular season has ended.
See you at the market!
