Come all ye members to the Canterbury Community Farmers Market this Wednesday, August 14, from 4-6:30 pm for a celebration of YOU! Why? Because it is THANKS TO MEMBERS week!

We welcome new or renewing members at any time, just stop by the Market Info tent. Don't forget to pick up this year's member gift!
We hope to see you ALL at the Market, because it is YOU who make this market such an important part of our Canterbury community!

***Be sure to wander aaaaall the way to the back of the Market, on the grassy area behind the library—many fine vendors are back there in the shade!***
Live Market Music
Live music this week provided by Barry Hayes. Our friends at the Craftsbury Farmers Market have this to say about Barry..."“I highly recommend Barry – his music is folksy, golden-oldie type that fits in beautifully with a farmers market. He has been invited back to play whenever he wishes. We got lots of good feedback from customers, vendors, and even children. Definitely one of the best musicians we have had!”
Weekly Weather
Thankfully, the weather is looking MUCH better than the thundering downpour we had last week! A shout out and a heartfelt "THANK YOU!" to those friends who braved the weather to buy goods from our soaked vendors before the Market was closed and we all retreated to safe shelter.
