y nonetheless! Cary Mayor Harold Weinbrecht toured the market and talked with vendors, market organizers and volunteers, and a group of kids from the WestPark neighborhood’s EcoKids Club. Market shopper Kirsten Lechner formed the EcoKids Club, which has grown to about 50 families in the last two years, as a fun way for kids and their families to learn about the small things each of us can do to help protect our planet. "Today the kids tasted the pastries and fresh apples, talked with the local farmers, danced to the live music, and got their faces painted. We always have fun at the market!" Kirsten said.Herons Executive Chef Scott Crawford shared delicious samples of his Butternut Squash Soup with Coconut & Malt to warm folks up, and musician Michael George Gonzalez shared his beautiful sounds with shoppers! (If you missed him, he’ll return to the market on Nov. 21.) Kids’ favorite LynneSue Fischer was also there with her fun face painting for all the young shoppers.
A special word of thanks goes to Mayor Weinbrecht for joining us at the market and taking the time to learn more about the importance of the market to our community and to the farmers and artisans who sell their local foods and products here.
