Drake Neighborhood Farmers Market Opens

The Drake Neighborhood Market is open again!  This is the Market’s 13th season, and promises to be the best yet.  There are 20 vendors this year selling things such as fresh Iowa-grown fruits and vegetables, baked goods, fruit preserves, crafts and jewelry.  And let’s not forget all those great food vendors!  Barbeque, tamales, kettle corn – whether you’re looking for a snack or a meal, you can find it at the Drake Farmers Market. 

Entertainment is provided weekly, as well as educational/informational guests.  The Market has a health tent where free blood pressure and blood sugar checks are available every week.  And, there are always activities for kids, too.

So, please come out and support your local, neighborhood Farmers Market.  The Market is open every Wednesday from 4:00PM – 7:00PM, through September 30, in the parking lot of First Christian Church (25th & University).  Free parking is available across the street from the Market on 25th Street. 

The Market is a non-profit, community project sponsored by First Christian Church, the Drake Neighborhood Association, and Drake University. For more information you can call Ginny Gieske at (515) 277-6951, or visit the website at www.drakefarmersmarket.com.
