Friday
the Farmer's Market is back at the Train Station from 10-2pm. This is a
great space for the vendors to spread out and sell their wares. Stock
up for the week - this produce is straight from the garden so it lasts
for ages. There is also a groovy food truck. I saw an excellent sausage
on naan bread roll out of their kitchen last week.
Friday evening is the opening of Malcolm Callaway's art show at Amicus Gallery at 6 pm. In addition to the fabulous paintings, the icing on the cake is...wine. It's the lubricant of the village.
