Lilburn Farmers Market - August 30

Wow! This summer has flown by! It seems only yesterday that we were eagerly anticipating the first market and now sadly we are approaching the final market of 2013.

We are so excited to host the 1st School Spirit Contest for local schools. Students and staff members of area schools are invited to sign in for their school at the Information Tent from 4 pm to 8 pm. The school with the highest percentage of attendance will be receive $50 for their PTA. The second highest attendance will receive $25. The Lilburn Farmers Market is happy to support our schools. On Facebook we are seeing a lot of posts supporting area schools. Can't wait to see which school will come out on top.

Parkwood Farms Therapy Center is our partner this week. Come and learn about this organization which is dedicated to enriching the lives of physically, emotionally and mentally challenged children and adults by offering a spectrum of therapeutic services in one safe and loving environment. Its primary program is therapeutic riding and equine-assisted activities. Support Parkwood Farms by purchasing a bottle of water (or 2).

The Ukulele Society of Decatur returns for an encore. Their music makes you want to dance the night away. Would not be surprised to see someone break out in a hula.

Chef Stacy Maples will host a chef demo at 6 pm. We have learned so much from her this season and know that her newest offering will be amazing.

You need to make sure you have stockpiled enough to make it until next June. Naturally for You is offering a special  - Stock up on current supply of NFY bath n body products and receive a discount!
