Kids Day at the Market-Friday, June 11

We've got lots of fun activities planned for Kids Day! There'll be a market scavenger hunt, a garden booth where kids can plant their own seed to take home, a craft table to make a garden stake, a side walk chalk art contest, drawings for prizes throughout the evening, and the release of 10,000 ladybugs! The kids can also go over to the fire station and meet the fire fighters and take a peek in a truck (there's a chance a little water will be involved too!). Bring the whole family down to the market this Friday and plan to stay awhile!
