Hello,

The second annual Kids' Market is Friday from 4:30-6:30. Along with our regular market vendors, we have a great group of children joining us with products including the ever-popular SLIME, candles, baked goods, flowers, and much, much more. Please bring cash as the kids will not be able to accept credit or debit cards or tokens.

Some of our young vendors are in need of tables. If you have an extra card table or other lightweight table, can you drop it off at the West Townshend Country Store Thursday or Friday? Be sure your name is clearly marked on it. We'll be sure to return it to the porch after Friday's market. Thank you!

Friday's music is presented by blues singer, Sunny Lowdown, always a favorite at the market. Wood-fired pizza is available from 5:00-7:00, with beer and wine available.

Come support the Townshend Farmers Market. You only have three more opportunities this season!

Gratefully,
