This Saturday, August 28, we’re launching our new program for children — Haymaker Market Blossoms — offering activities for kids from 10am – 12pm during five markets this season. This week’s activity is hosted by Sustainability for Educators and the Environment (SEE), a local non-profit that is helping area K-12 students achieve their zero waste school goals. Look for the SEE table under the bridge where kids will get to make SEEd bombs with flower seeds, compost and clay.
Haymaker Market Blossoms Schedule (10am-12pm under the bridge)
August 28 – SEE, SEEd bombs
September 4 – KSU Child Development Center/CFC, Cooking with kids

If you or your organization would like more information about sponsoring an activity for children at the market, please contact Kelly Ferry at haymakermarket@gmail.com.
Also on the 28th, a group of local artists, led by Cheril Walker of UpcycledDenim, will sell handmade shopping bags that are works of art made from repurposed denim. Bags cost $15 and all proceeds will benefit Kent Social Services.
This week’s musical act in the ongoing Music at the Market series is Vagrant Revival, a folk rock group, performing from 10am-12pm under the bridge. OSU County Extension will also be on hand to answer food safety and home canning questions.
We hope to see you there!
