Music at the Market
This Saturday’s entertainment line-up presents – The Wilsons.
Ken Wilson (vocals, 6- and 12-string guitars, harmonica) and his wife Debbie (vocals, keyboard, flute) have been sharing their music with audiences for over forty years.
They perform classic and contemporary acoustic music from the sixties to the present day. They enjoy interacting with our audiences, and their extensive repertoire allows them to encourage requests. They’ll perform at 9:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. on the BCFM Circular Stage.
Mayor’s Team at the Table
Mayor’s Team at the Table is a community outreach program that invites Market-goers to engage with the mayor and various department heads from the City of Bloomington government.
This Saturday, Jessica McClellan, Controller for the City of Bloomington, will greet the public at the Farmers’ Market between 10:00 a.m. and Noon.
