This Tuesday at the LOVELAND FARMERS’ MARKET

 Tuesday, August 23

205 Broadway Street
Between the canoe livery and the bike trail

By now, most of the kids are back in school. What better way to plan than to include fresh, healthy meals for your family from the Loveland Farmers’ Market. Today, I salute the moms and dads who are organizing their day to include packing lunches, homework, sports, and family time. You are to be congratulated for pulling all that off.

Come to the market tomorrow and experience fresh local food!  I promise you won’t be disappointed.

See you tomorrow at the market!
