BLOOMINGTON – This Saturday is Young Artists’ and Growers’ Day at the Bloomington Community Farmers Market.
During this special day for kids at the market, young farmers, artists, growers, and entrepreneurs ages six to 17 will get their own booth space.
Youth keep all their profits as they experience a day of running their stands.
The Market will also be hosting other youth-oriented activities. Support our youth this Saturday from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. at Showers Commons, 401 North Morton Street in Bloomington.
