Happenings at the Downtown Cleveland Farmers' Market

We'll be at Public Square today 11am-2pm, RAIN or SHINE! Grab an umbrella and come on down! As I'm looking at yet another rainy forecast, I wanted to take the time thank all of the loyal patrons who make it down to the market each week - no matter how cold or wet - to support their favorite vendors. This season's market runs through Friday, October 28 so we have just a few weeks left on Public Square. Come on out and make the best of what's left of the 2011 farmers market season.  Cleveland Cooks with The House of Blues Foundation Room There are still a few spaces available for tomorrow's Cleveland Cooks class. Theresa Todia, Executive Chef for The House of Blues Foundation Room will lead the cooking class, which takes place tomorrow - Friday, September 30 at 2:00pm. To attend this intimate hands-on cooking class, please email downtownclevelandmarket@gmail.com or call (440) 821-0254. A monthly cooking series providing hands-on demonstrations from area chefs. Part of the Growhio Education Sessions, classes will include a guided market tour, hands-on instruction in meal preparation and tips on how to grow produce easily at home. Classes are free and open to the public but will target Downtown residents and employees. Cleveland Cooks will take place at Old Stone Church on the last Friday of the month. Cleveland Cooks was made possible thanks to a grant from Neighborhood Connections.  Photo: For photos from previous Cleveland Cooks classes, please check out ourFacebook page.  EBT Incentive Program: Just a reminder that this week and every week, you'll get $5 free when you use your EBT card at Downtown Farmers Market. Thanks to the generousity of The Gund Foundation, residents who use their Ohio Direction Card to make purchases receive an additional $5.00 in tokens (w/ a minimum $5.00 purchase). Please stop by the information table tomorrow for more information or to use your card. FREE PARKING! We have saved a limited number of parking spaces for shoppers of Downtown Farmers Market on Rockwell Avenue between Ontario and East Roadway.   Come down on your lunch hour and stop by Judy's Oasis for a Middle Eastern meal including Falafel sandwiches & meat pies, Frickaccio's for pizza bagels and pepperoni rolls, BONJOUR's gourmet crepes, or visit one of the food trucks (Dim and Den Sum, The Nosh Box and StrEat Mobile). Just make sure you save enough time during lunch to visit all of your favorite vendors, enjoy the fresh air, listen to the live music, and maybe even picnic in the grass!
