July 21st 10:00AM @ the pavilion by the kids' tent: Peterborough Storytellers! Another amazing opportunity for all our beautiful market kids this Saturday (kids of all ages, adults too). Betty Bennet from the Peterborough Storytellers is coming to shares some stories with us! $5 suggested donation to the Peterborough Storytellers. Tell your friends. Grab some market treats, and come listen.

Betty Bennett came to storytelling via the Haliburton School of the Arts and the Intensive Workshop of the Toronto Storytelling School.  Over the last ten years, she has been a regular member of the Peterborough Storytellers, both as a teller and a program planner.  She frequently tells at events in and around Peterborough including open mic evenings, fundraisers and service, as well as in Brockville, Campbellford and recently at the community performance space at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa.  Betty is a member of the Peterborough Storytellers and the Storytellers of Canada – Conteurs du Canada (SC-CC).

Betty trained as a Library Technician, and before retirement was employed as the librarian at a major marketing research company.  She has served on the Board of the Asphodel Norwood Horticultural Society as the annual plant sale coordinator and as President, and on the Fundraising Committee of Westben  Arts Festival Theatre, specifically co-chairing the Kitchen Ceilidh fundraiser for two years.  

Habitat for Humanity is hosting a children's birdhouse building and painting workshop at the south Pavilion this Saturday, starting 10:00AM at the Peterborough Regional Farmers' Market.

Each child will be able to take home the birdhouse they build.

Habitat staff can accommodate 10 children at a time, so we'll do some shifts if there's lots of interest. Come at 10:00AM to hold your spot. Suggested donation of $5 to participate.

The Peterborough Regional Farmers' Market is partnering with Habitat for Humanity to support their ongoing work to build homes across the region.

Come colour "I love Local Dirt" colouring pages with us in the Kids' Tent. Meet other market kids and take cover from the rain!
