LEE FARMER'S MARKET
Spring is not as far away and the folks at the Lee Farmer's Market are making plans for another successful year. The Market will continue to be held at the Highway Department on Mast Rd (old fire station) in Lee. The hours are 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm on Thursdays. We're planning on a good variety of fresh local products, ranging from produce and fruits, to meats and wool. If you've been to the market in the past you'll remember the fine products and the sense of community. If you haven't yet experienced the market, give it a try this year. Begin looking for the signs around Memorial Day.
The vendors want to thank all of you for the strong support you given us over the last few years. We will continue to do our best in providing the best quality products for you. If you would like to see products at the market that we don't presently have, let me know and we'll see what we can do. This year we are planning on presenting some entertainment and educational demonstrations during the markets. Also, we hope to post a list of products for sale at the market each week on the Town's website.
If you are interested in participating as a vendor in the Market give me a call. Dick Babcock, Market Master 659-9329
