MICO TOYS won the Crafts competition for their Pickle Plushies. TODAY IS SPRING KIDS IN BIZ DAY This is the day about 25 children become vendors for the day. (Sorry, we are now full.) Visit their tents on the Green, near Info, and around the Market, test their customer service skills, and see if they give you the right change. Children should report to the Info tent (on the Green) at 9:15am. Bring a small table and chair and a tent, if possible. Set up starts at 9:30; Selling is at 10. Market Lunch at 11:20am. Selling ends at 12:30. We welcome DONATIONS! Children will receive Market aprons (a gift from management). JUNE 26TH: NIGHT MARKET AND MOVIE NIGHT The Movie is ‘Encanto’, perfect for families. Enjoy delicious Market cuisine, and shop among our juried Crafters; then enjoy the movie. Anyone in need should come to the Info tent for a discount coupon. Special thanks to the Olney Civic Fund for making this possible. And thanks to Neil Rubenstein (All Earth Desserts) for handling the production. VENDOR ALERT! A reminder that all vendors are required to have weights of at least 25 pounds per leg, no exceptions! In the event of strong winds, you will be asked to take down your tent. This is for everyone’s safety. Anyone who refuses to comply will be subject to termination. We just can’t take any chances. Thank you. A NOTE OF THANKS: The Market is so appreciative of your support. Your donations go to help area needy families, our Children’s educational programs, our fabulous musical entertainment, our Emergency response fund, and our Safety patrols. FOOD SCRAPS: As part of a Montgomery County-sponsored pilot, Compost Cab will accept food scraps from our customers. Look for their tent in the rear of the Market. You may drop off:
STAY SAFE! PARKING IS ALWAYS FREE! Vendors are asked to stay until 1:10pm. There are 2 main lots, one outside the professional buildings on 108; the other opposite the Thrift Shop on Prince Philip. NO PETS PLEASE! DONATIONS WELCOME! Please consider a donation to our 501-C-3, Friends of the Olney Farmers Market. The Market provides vouchers for fresh produce to those in need. This season, we’ve given out more vouchers than ever before. It would be great to replenish our fund. We also need funds to support our music program and our children's tent. Checks can be mailed to PO Box 1787, Olney, MD 20830. We also accept donations at our Info tent. You may also use the Donate button at the top of this newsletter. THANK YOU!! ***Customers: Please do NOT remove barricades at our entrances and exits. These are meant to keep all of us safe. In the event of dangerous weather conditions, we'll post our decision on whether to close on our website, olneyfarmersmarket.com and on Facebook. NO PETS! We ask that you leave your pets at home. We allow service animals only. Note to Vendors: Remember that every tent must have at least 25 pounds of weight per tent leg. Thank you for your cooperation.
