Farmers, Musicians, Muralists and More!

by Ari Herzog on March 19, 2009

Earth Day 2008The farmers are back! Come one, come all to Bartlet Mall on Saturday, April 18 for the 2nd annual flower market!

It’s like a farmers’ market, but devoted to flowers and herbs. I shot this picture last year, and if this year’s crowds are anything like last year’s, it will be a fun time for all!

Organized by Arrowhead Farm owner Dick Chase, about a dozen local farms will display and sell their crops of flowers and herbs.

Hark! Is that music in the air? Yes, farmers won’t be the only celebrities parading around the city park, for musicians will also stroll around, weaving yarns of tapestry with their songs of lore.

But that’s not all. Don’t forget the first annual painting of the largest mural to ever grace your sights. It must be kept a surprise for now, but children and adults of all ages will enjoy a collaborative painting excursion, the likes of which you’ve probably never seen before! Wear your old clothes and bring your cameras!

The farmers, musicians, and mural painting will occur at Bartlett Mall on April 18 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., with a rain date of April 19.
