Farmers Market and Textile Recycling Event

Our next Farmers Market of the season will be Saturday, July 20th from 9am to 1pm. The Farmers Market is at Main Street Park, located at 8013 Blivin Street.

This year we are excited to offer a breakfast buffet and drink specials, from The Grove, see their menu here, and our live entertainment this month is Amy Rose Music. Follow the Farmers Market on Facebook for the most up to date information.

Helping Hands Recycling will be on site this month as well collecting almost anything you need to clean out of your house!

With the goal of increasing recycling in mind, Helping Hands Recycling Center collects unwanted textiles in an attempt to divert millions of pounds of clothing from landfills. See the flyer [PDF, 7.66 MB]for acceptable items.

Helping Hands Food Pantry will be at our market collecting much needed non-perishable or monetary donations, look for their booth.
