Instead of music or information featured at the Market, this past Saturday featured the play "The Ox Star." It went over well - there were several who seemed pretty intent on watching it. What we saw was quite good!
Watch for the new "what's at the market today" signs (thanks, Jen!).
A HUGE Thank You to Sherwin-Williams (the one off Bendix at 3210 Nimtz Pky)donated the paint! Find them by clicking here.
We love our vendor community! We welcome John Keefer, who brought corn, peppers, canteloupe and other goodies to market Saturday. he is super friendly and said he was enjoying the customers and the market atmosphere. It was really hot again on Saturday. Thanks to vendors looking out for fellow vendors - Rosemary, Jean, Pat and Wendy all made sure John had water and got in the shade. Thanks, all!

Saturday July 23 @ the UGM
Hot enough for you??? It's to be more of the same on Saturday, but we will be open.
So much produce is ready now -- sweet corn, blueberries, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, green beans, wax beans, all kinds of summer squash, zucchini, kohlrabi (give it a try) ... plus cookies, all kinds of pastries, snow cones, jams, jellies, rib tips, BBQ chicken and pulled pork. (Try putting together Jim's plain (not BBQ) pulled pork, green beans and new potatoes for an easy and tasty meal.)
The special entertainment for tomorrow will be a performance by the Nickel & Dime Theatre of the play "The Ox Star". It is a children's play about selfishness based on a Chinese fairytale. The Nickel & Dime Theatre started in 2007 by Margie Davis who directs and acts in most of their plays. Local talent from kids to adults participate in a range of plays from serious to comedy. They will have one performance at 10:00 am. The play lasts for about 45 minutes.
Bring your own chair and come enjoy the play!

July Market Update
What a busy day we had Saturday!
Hungry people picking up food throughout the morning. PLUS, the local ABC affiliate channel 57 came and took a lot of footage and interviewed some of the vendors and customers and Donna, the magnificent Market Manager. It was on both the news broadcasts that evening! (look for link coming soon!)
Edie Sutton, nutritionist from Purdue Extension, had two great recipes made with corn and blueberries; one was a salad and one a dessert. They were wonderful!
Phil Sutton was kep busy with customers arriving toting bags of leaves, plants and branches for him to diagnose. It's a good thing that Purdue Extension comes every month! They are both a very handy resource.
Next week (7/23) Nickel and Dime acting troop will perform the play they have been working on. The curtain goes up at 10:00am for a 45 min. play called "The Ox Star". Directed by Margie Davis, it is a children's play about selfishness based on the Chinese fairytale about the Ox Star. It retells the legend of how the ox star bungled a message from the Emperor of All the Heavens and was punished by being sent to earth to become a beast of burden.
Also next week: great food and funa nd friendly conversations! Stop by for a bit of both!
