The farmers' market will be held every Thursday afternoon from 3 to 6:30 p.m. from May 19 through October 13 in our new location at: the Chick-Fil-A parking lot on Route 51 North (Southland) for the 2016 season.
This new location will have higher visibility and much more foot traffic given its proximity to the Chick-Fil-A restaurant and other businesses in the shopping center.
This is our 9th year of sponsoring the farmers' market and is part of our club's efforts to serve the community.
It's been a big success and the whole community looks forward to it. The money we make from hosting the market and other events we sponsor has enabled us to distribute thousands of dollars to local charities and organizations, in addition to helping support Lions Club International's efforts to eradicate blindness.
The market typically attracts 250-500 customers on an average Thursday. We've had great support from our local farmers and normally have 10-12 vendors selling everything, including fresh fruits and vegetables, pies, hot roasted nuts, jams, flowers and a variety of freshly-baked breads and various rolls.
For more information about the farmers' market, please call Michael Zaken at 412-655-1234.
