Farmers' Market comes to Grand Bend By Kaitie Jinks TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF GRAND BEND — The West Coast Lions Club is hosting Grand Bend's very own Farmers' Market, begin- ning June 14 through to mid- October. The Farmers' Market will be located on the Gill Road parking lot each Wednesday from 8a.m. until 1p.m., selling various fresh fruits, vegetables, homemade pies, baked goods, dairy products, meat prod- ucts, specialty foods, nursery stock jams, flowers and even some crafts. The Lions Club says this is a "great community addition to the events already happening in and around Grand Bend." The Grand Bend Farmers' Market committee organizers have already heard from several vendors hoping to have a stall at the Market. There are 25 spaces. The grand opening is June 14 with ceremonies at 10 a.m. There will be a ribbon cutting, live entertainment and the opportu- nity to purchase the items at the Market. "We are excited that the project has taken off as well as it has," says Christine Bregman. Everyone is welcome to join in celebrating the opening of the mar- ket as it is "unique to Grand Bend, and exactly what the area needs," said Bregman. The Farmers' Market is ideal for anyone who lives within the 60 km radius. "Many of the produce bought at the Flee Markets in Grand Bend come from a Farmers' Market," Bregman said. "Now the customer can buy the produce locally, and get to know the people and where it is coming from. The most exciting part of this market is the vendor - customer relationship. "We are looking forward to it, to seeing everyone there in such a great location."
