Vendors, Music & Activities for June 17

If the dark skies made you nervous at the start of last week’s season opener, today’s weather should present no such concerns. We’re looking at sun with a few puffs of clouds and temps in the mid-70s – perfect market weather, in our opinion.

Today’s free KERNEL kids activity is called “My Plate, Investigate!” Participants will get to measure out colored beans representing different food groups to see what a nutritional meal should look like.

As always, every youth who takes part will get $2 in KERNEL Cash to spend on fruit and veg to create their own healthy meal.

We’ve also got a great composting demo organized and hosted by local Master Composters (yep, that’s a thing). They’ll show you how to compost properly to create super soil out of organic household food waste, water and yard clippings. There’s an art to making this homebrewed Miracle-Gro, and your backyard veggies will benefit from it.

And our musician this week is Mike Rose.
