Tomorrow, Cheverly Community Market begins what we hope will become an annual tradition -- KidMarket. In addition to the great treats that our regular vendors bring each Market, Cheverly schools and family-focused groups will join us for this very special morning. Visit their tables, which will be set up in the grass just in front of the Community Center:
Cheverly Parents Resource Center (CPRC): make potato print t-shirts and little flags (and renew your CPRC membership!)
Judith P. Hoyer Early Childhood Elementary: face painting -- your face as a work of art!
St. Ambrose School: Make your own jewelry at Beadingham Palace. Proceeds will benefit Endangered Species
Weekday Nursery: Buy a square on the sidewalk and create a masterpiece with chalk
Mother's Day Out: Make paper airplanes and learn about this fantastic early childhood learning program

Friends of Lower Beaverdam Creek will sponsor a hike at 9am lead by Gabe Horchler. Hikers of all ages can meet at 9 at the Friends of Lower Beaverdam Creek table.
Cheverly Women's Club will have a craft table where kids can make pinwheels
Music by Cheverly Community Market's very own house band -- the Hot Noodles!
Market Chef Scott Eichinger will demonstrate making peanut butter and an easy pizza dough.
The Market is creating a kids reading corner featuring books on goats next to the Cherry Glenn Goat Cheese Table.
Make sure to pick up a Treasure Map from the Market table and find the answers to all the questions!
And from our regular vendors...
Clan Stewart Farm will be bringing Macintosh and Smokehouse apples in addition to their wonderful grass-fed meats. Smokehouse (Gibbons Smokehouse, Mill Creek, Red Vandevere) apples are an old variety -- wonderful and very flavorful apples that originated in the 1830s with William Gibbons of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The original tree grew near the smokehouse of Mr. Gibbons and thus its name was derived. Besides its excellent eating qualities, Smokehouse is a fine cooking and baking apple. The apple has greenish-yellow skin covered with shades and stripes of red. Flesh is yellowish, crisp and firm with a pleasing spicy flavor. Ripens September or later depending on the locale.
A creative caterer friend to Jug Bay is sending with Scott several jams and relishes with Jug Bay's own organic tomatoes and basil. Among the usual treats they'll have Organic Heirloom Tomato Marmalade; Heirloom Tomato/Ginger Marmalade; Heirloom Tomato & Lavender Jam; Sun Gold Cherry Tomato Relish and Genoa Basil Pesto. Scott will also bring cherry tomatoes, beans, squash, zucchini, eggplant, big tomatoes, red peppers, hot peppers, potatoes, cucumbers, and perhaps peaches and corn.
Krishon Chocolates Eric Johnson will bring his latest kids-creations: working on caramel and chocolate covered apples. Eric will also have Caramels, Truffles, Bark and Goddess Bars.
Simple Pleasure ice cream is pulling out the stops with Stracciatella (Vanilla Ice cream with Italian Chocolate blended), Vanilla, Cantaloupe,Strawberry -n-Cream, Cookies-n-Cream, and Italian Ice
