We've posted photosfrom today's Market on the Cheverly Community Market flickr page. Did you take photos today? We'd love your contributions to the pool -- we're closing in on 2,500 photos from our Market!
Also, our very favorite local band (and our regular Market house band), the Hot Noodles, plays tonight at the New Deal Cafe in Greenbelt. We hope to see some familiar Market faces tonight!
Wow! What a fantastic Market on Cheverly Avenue today. Many thanks to everyone who came out, especially our organizers, volunteers, Cheverly Police, Public Works, Mayor and Town Council, community groups and, of course, our wonderful vendors.
It was amazing to see so many new faces -- people who had never been to Cheverly Community Market before. We hope that you come to see us at our regular Community Center location, too!
We'd like to hear from you. Did you like the Market on Cheverly Avenue? Are you a regular, or was thus your first visit? Please let us know what you think. We love being part of the community, and need your input to make this the Market that you want.
Photos will be posted on our flickr page shortly! See you October 10 at the Community Center for the next Cheverly Community Market!
We're really looking forward to tomorrow morning's special Cheverly Community Market on the Avenue. We know you are, too.
We've got some fantastic additions to our Saturday lineup, including our new coffee vendor, ChevBrew. Dan Scott will be brewing up coffee from Rockville's Mayorga Coffee Roasters, so we're in for a great treat. He'll also have juice for the kids. Stop by for a great cup of coffee and make sure Dan feels welcome tomorrow morning!
We're very pleased that the Boy Scouts will be joining us, as will local student Matt Williams, who will be conducting a science experiment during the Market. Stop by and find out what he's doing! Judith P. Hoyer Montessori and Early Childhood Center school will have special activities for the kids, including a scavenger hunt and mini-pumpkin decorating (with mini pumpkins from Rebert's Farms.) The Cheverly Tree Commission will be on hand to discuss Cheverly's beautiful green canopy with you. You never know what else is in store -- make sure to come to Cheverly Community Market on the Avenue to experience the whole thing!
It looks like we're in for a cool early Fall morning with temperatures in the 60s, so bring a sweater (and lots of bags to carry the wonderful fresh produce, meats, breads and other treats our vendors have in store for you!) On the off chance that we have rain, we'll be in the Community Center (inside at our regular Forest Road location), but the plan right now is Cheverly Avenue between Inwood and Forest, with extra parking at Cheverly United Methodist Church. We want to thank our many volunteers -- as well as the Public Works staff -- for making this special event possible. And we're very grateful to CUMC for providing overflow parking space.
We're looking forward to a very special Cheverly Community Market this Saturday, 8:00am to 1:00pm. We'll celebrate our town -- the groups and people that make it a wonderful home -- with our regular vendors plus some special guests. And Cheverly's very own Beatles tribute band, Soul Revolver, will be playing -- that's a very special treat.
In addition to community groups (including the American Legion, Cheverly Parent Resource Center, Cheverly Green Infrastructure, Progressive Cheverly, Friends of Lower Beaver Dam), and Judith P. Hoyer Montessori and Early Childhood Center will be on hand (they'll even have an activity for kids), as will Mayor Julia Mosely and members of the Town Council.
And, of course, we'll have our great vendors...where would we be without them? This Market, we're very happy to welcome Radix Farm, a new small Prince George's County Farm started by Kristin Carbone, who has worked for several years with Clagett Farm in Upper Marlboro. We're also very pleased to welcome back returning vendors New Starts Farm, Mystic Water Soaps, Rose Fennel Pottery, musician Linda Priebe, and for their second Market, Running Hare Vineyards of Calvert County. We are always so fortunate to have our regular vendors -- Shlagel Farms, Rebert Farms/Benny's Fruit Stand, C&E Farm, Clan Stewart Farm, Eve's Cheese, Simple Pleasures Ice Cafe, Martha's Jams, CUMC Fair Trade Coffee Tea Gifts, and Cheverly Breadbasket. This will be a great Market full of wonderful treats -- we're so excited to share everything with you!
Remember: for this very special Market, we'll be located on Cheverly Avenue and in Legion Park. The town is closing Cheverly Avenue between Inwood and Forest for the event. Please be considerate of your friends and neighbors and consider walking. If you do need to drive, there will be parking available in the CUMC parking lot on Forest Road. Please be mindful of friends, neighbors and other area residents!
Bring your family, neighbors and friends for a very special Cheverly Community Market, Saturday, September 26, on Cheverly Avenue. A portion of our main street will be blocked off between 8:00am and 1:00pm. In addition to our wonderful regular vendors (and the premiere of our new coffee & tea vendor), you'll be able to visit with local artists, community groups and our Town Council and Mayor. We'll also have a very special performance by Cheverly's own Beatles cover band, Soul Revolver (featuring members of our house band, the Hot Noodles) and more! We look forward to seeing many community members -- and anyone who cares about Cheverly -- for this truly "community" market.
Emma Dudley will have gorgeous plants in addition to vegetables and wonderful herbs, both well-known and unusual. Mrs. Dudley is a wonderful source of information about the history of the herbs and plants she carries, so ask away!
Cheverly Breadbasket will have delicious breads, pastries, cookies and muffins and a very special treat: Grades A&B Maple Syrup from S&S Maple Camp in Western Maryland. Try Grade A this Sunday on French toast made with Firehook's French baguette, Clan Stewart's eggs, and topped with sliced fresh peaches from the market. Pure heaven. Some people prefer Grade B, which has a more pronounced maple flavor. Use it to sweeten bowl of oatmeal or use it to make a batch of Maple Gingerbread:
