  Farmers Market  
A volunteer group of people provide numerous products and goodies to the community. We receive vendors from all over the country that will come to the arena to showcase and make a profit off of their hard work. A lunch is provided by local businesses and groups to fully satisfy the public. It starts at 11:00 a.m. and ends at 2:00 p.m. come out and enjoy some home grown/produced products.

Weekly Joke
A man is driving down a country road, when he spots a farmer standing in the middle of a huge field of grass. He pulls the car over to the side of the road and notices that the farmer is just standing there, doing nothing, looking at nothing.
The man gets out of the car, walks all the way out to the farmer and asks him, "Ah excuse me mister, but what are you doing?"
The farmer replies, "I'm trying to win a Nobel Prize."
"How?" asks the man, puzzled.
"Well, I heard they give the Nobel Prize...to people who are out standing in their field."

Next week the lunch will be provided by the Oyen Golf and Country Club, however we do not have a bake table booked.
We need bake tables for the following weeks: July 17, 24, 31, August 7, and September 11.
We are promoting the 100 Mile Diet, which encourages people to buy food within a 100 mile radius. The Farmers' Market is a great opportunity for this. We would like to see more bright smiling faces at the next market.
