Kid’s Day at Elwood Farmers Market!

Attend the fun filled farmers market in uptown Elwood from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday, July 18 - it’s Kid’s Day. Many family fun activities are planned. There will be face painting, tattoos, sack races, corn hole game, balloons and free treats throughout the market day. Performing at 11 a.m. will be the East Main Street Christian Church Praise Puppets - always a fun show for all ages.

But the main feature is the fresh produce available every Saturday from local gardeners and farmers. Make sure you get your fresh vegetables, fruits, honey, hormone free beef, cheese, spices, baked pies, miscellaneous baked goods and garden decorative items. Indiana sweet corn is here! Don't miss all the fantastic fresh produce available this Saturday.

Be sure to invite your family, friends and neighbors to the market this Saturday.


See you at the market!

Fresh corn is now available!!

For those of you that have been patiently waiting.....the corn is here! Ousley's Harvest Gardens brought their first batch of corn to the market last Saturday. Yum! Yes, I say this from personal experience as we enjoyed it for dinner on Saturday night! Stop out this week and pick some up! See you there!

A little rain never hurt anyone......right??

Well, we had our chance to find out last Saturday! It rained, then stopped....then rained some more! Oh well! The Central Indiana Blood Mobile showed up and still managed to get some much needed donations, despite the low traffic flow. Thank you to all who donated! Thanks also to St. Vincent Mercy Hospital who did free blood pressure screenings and Dr. Barnett and his lovely "tooth fairy" wife Mavis for stopping out and spreading the word about healthy dental practices. Mavis made a great Tooth Fairy!

This coming week, July 18th is our annual Kid's Day. The Praise Puppets from East Main Street Christian Church will be performing a show at 11:00. There will also be corn hole, old fashioned sack races, face painting, tatoos, balloons and lots of free treats for all the kids. Come out and join us for a day of fun! (and no rain!!)
