ABFM DRAWING REDUX:
FREE MARKET GOODIES!
Didn't make it last week? Stop by the ABFM table at market this week (and on 8/22) for your chance to win a grocery bag full of wonderful ABFM vendor produce and products. Pick up your ticket (one per family, please) between 1:00 and 1:45pm; the drawing will take place at 1:50pm, just before the close of market, at the ABFM table. You must be present to play and to win. Two winners will be drawn each Sunday — one could be you!
(Thanks to our terrific vendors for their generous donations!)
MARKET HOURS: 10am–2pm
