Greetings from Findlay Market
Summer season is in full swing at Findlay Market! The Farmers Market now boasts fresh summer vegetables and flowers. The planting season was slow to get started due to heavy rains. Now, fruits of our farmers' labor abound. Worrying about buying tomatoes and other items that could be salmonella tainted? Stop out to the farm shed and talk with the farmers. They can tell you exactly how they plant and protect their crops. Eat locally, know how your food was grown and support local farmers and businesses!
We are preparing for our annual Blue BBQ event on Saturday and Sunday, August 2 - 3, 2008. This event has been expanded to two days and we are going to be selling and serving Christian Moerlein lagers and ales both days! It is a celebration of Blues, Brews and BBQ! This year, Curley's BBQ joins us and will be selling and sampling their pulled BBQ, in addition to our own grillers on Essen Strasse.
Music in the Market performances include:
Saturday: 10:00am - 4:00pm
10:00am - noon That Certain Something
12:30pm - 2:00pm Lavieena Campbell Trio
2:30pm - 4:00 Todd Hepburn
Sunday: 10:00am - 4:00pm

We are looking for volunteers to help us with hospitality and beer booth opportunities. Volunteers receive and event t-shirt, free beer and BBQ before and after the shift. If you want to join the fun, contact Karen Kahle at 513.665.4839 or kkahle@findlaymarket.org. We thank our sponsors, Curley's BBQ, Christian Moerlein Brewery, The Comet Bar and Infintech. Our media sponsor is CityBeat.
In other Market news, we welcome Jody Miller, joining Renee Miller, at Bouchard's. Located at the Elm Street entrance to the Market House, next to Charles Bare Meats, Jody is preparing freshly made pastas and flatbreads with your choice of sauces and toppings.
This summer if you are skipping a driving vacation due to high gas prices, why not "take a trip" to downtown and Over-the Rhine some weekend. Become a tourist and discover your own city!
Finally, we send a big thanks to Holly Vanden Toorn, who wrote the terrific article, Findlay Market: a hostess' helper. I could not have said it better myself.
See you at the Market!
