A Message from Crystal About Saturday's Market...

Hello all! Preparations are well under way for what may be one of the most unusual Markets of the season... Tomorrow morning at 5am, before the sun comes up -- and probably in the pouring rain -- hearty farmers will be in their field picking corn for our Market. At the same time, breads and pastries will go into ovens. Terry Moist will start his trip from Clan Stewart Farm in Pennsylvania, Griffen Basignani will load cases of wine that started as grapes on his family's Maryland vineyard. Charles and Kelly are getting together tonight to practice for tomorrow's performance. (Don't forget to tip!) Nicole Sylver will be up until the wee hours whipping buttercream and making sure her cupcakes are mixed and baked to perfection. The Russells with Simple Pleasures Ice Cream will load their ice cream and cart into the van they rent to come to market. And don't forget to put your clothing donations into plastic bags tonight. Jason Gaines is counting on them for his Eagle Scout Project. These are only a few of the vendors and people who will brave the elements tomorrow morning to join us at the Cheverly Community Market. Hope you will come out to thank them in person, stock up on terrific food and drink, have a relaxed breakfast with friends and enjoy some fine music...what a great way to kick off September.
We look forward to seeing you in the Community Center Gym tomorrow morning, 8:00-11:00am, rain or shine!
