NEW ERA — The New Era Farmers’ Market kicks off the summer season Tuesday, June 11, from 4-7 p.m. in the parking lot of the New Era Christian Reformed Church at 1820 Ray Ave.
There are 25 vendors signed up so far, and the Smokin Dobroleles will entertain from 5-7 p.m.
The Kids Power of Produce Club from 4-5 p.m. will feature a bike rodeo. Story time will be with Shelby Library Director Tiffany Collins-Haight. Kids should bring their bikes and get fitted for free Michigan Department of Transportation approved bike helmets donated by Trinity Health Injury Prevention. There will be an obstacle course for the kids to ride and a bike parade down to the stage. The kids will have a chance to win prizes, including two bicycles.
MSU Extension will roll out the latest venture — a canning lending library with canning materials supplied by the Michigan Farmers’ Market Association. There will be four available to check out at public libraries in Shelby, Hart, Pentwater and Walkerville.
Dinner selections will include Sloppy Joes, wraps, burritos, and pasties. SNAP, DUFB, Senior Market Fresh, Senior Power of Produce ($5 in free produce tokens) and Kids Power of Produce ($4 in free produce tokens) are accepted.
