As always we will have great entertainment. At tomorrow's market we will have famed storyteller Jackson Gillman performing from 3-4:30. If you haven't caught a Jackson Gillman show, be sure to stop by tomorrow and see him. He has a knack for keeping children mesmerized and laughing--wonderful stuff! Then from 4:30-6 we have John Mingont from Carver entertaining us with his guitar and banjo. Our resident llama Macho will also be on sight to see his many fans.

Stop on by, be entertained, fill up your shopping bags and grab a bite to eat at the market...meet your farmer and have a great time.
