4/16: Opening Day
"Touch-a-Tractor"
Thanks everyone
who came out on opening day! The weather was perfect and we had
hundreds and hundreds of folks come out. If your kids planted a
seed with Miss Chelsea, you've met one of our performers for this
coming market!
The Parks &
Rec Touch-a-Truck event was pretty dramatic with lots of trucks,
construction equipment and even a helicopter! But we had our own fun. A
ton of cute kids showed up and drove the tractor from James River
Equipment.
Here's my favorite pic from last week!
4/23: Week 2!
Musical guests: Chelsea
Childers, Mary Gillespie, Sue McHugh
If you've lived
in Salisbury for more than a year, you have probably heard of
Chickweed, the indestructable women's music and art festival (it'll be
July 23rd this year). Major Chickweed contributors Sue McHugh, Chelsea
Childers, and their friend Mary Gillespie will all take a turn busking
at the market. We're so glad to have them! (Please chip in if you like
what you hear!)
Guest chef cooking demo: Dustin
Watson
