Today we’re super excited\u00a0to welcome children’s author Katherine Pryor back to the market to read from\u00a0Zora’s Zucchini<\/em><\/a>, her follow-up to last year’s\u00a0Sylvia’s Spinach<\/em><\/a>. How many more young veggie skeptics will she turn into die-hard devotees of fresh produce? Katherine will be doing several free readings throughout the duration of the market (3-7pm). School’s out today, so bring your little ones to this fun activity!<\/p>\n

Copies of both books will be for sale, with paperback\/hardcover prices ranging from $8 to 15. SNAP\/EBT families will be able to get a free copy of the book (while supplies last) by showing their card. A big thanks to Catholic Charities Food for All, the Washington State Farmers Market Association and the Washington State Department of Health for providing the support necessary to bring Katherine back to our market.<\/p>\n

Lau the classical\u00a0pianist is returning, too, for his final market appearance of the season. He’ll be performing between Katherine’s readings.<\/p>\n

Vladimir is scheduled to return from California this week, and he’ll be bringing persimmons with him. This is typically the only out-of-state produce we allow, but we do so because they’re novel, nutrient-rich, and very tasty in smoothies and jams. R.P. Guerrero will be back this week, too, and rumor has it that he’s bringing his authentic recipe, fresh-made salsa for sale.<\/p>\n

Lots of our vendors have been bringing more and more pumpkins and squashes each week. Song Sparrow in particular has a great selection that’s very affordable.<\/p>\n

And without further ado, here’s everyone who will be joining us today:<\/p>\n
