As we head into the last month of the season we are excited to welcome a new vendor to the market! Owl Rock Farm in Harvard grows over 50 varieties of apples including heritage and antique apples. Stop by to say hi and then walk over to the Market Table and register for the Apple Pie Contest next week! (September 13) Registration closes this Saturday.
We are also excited for the return of Dan “the Hoop Man” Nicholson to teach people of all ages the art of hooping. The Maynard Cultural Council will be at the community tables with information about grant opportunities, and Matt Rosato will be performing at the music tent.
We’ll be down by the pond, Saturday, September 6, 9:00–1:00, rain or shine. Scroll down for the full vendor and activity list! Click on the links to learn more.
