New Bridgewater Village School Community Market begins, June 28

Bridgewater Village School staff and volunteers have come together to offer the BVS Community Market on the second and fourth Thursday of each month, beginning on Thursday, June 28. The community market, which will be outdoors in front of the school and in the field on Route 4 in Bridgewater, will be held from 4-7 p.m. rain or shine. Monies raised during these markets will benefit taste-testing and Farm to School-type activities at Bridgewater Village School.

Currently, students learn about farming and gardening and plant their own vegetable garden in the spring, then reap the rewards of those plants in the fall during healthy snack and lunch time. Dates are June 28, July 12 & 26, August 9 & 23, Sept. 13 & 27, and Oct. 11.

Organizers are looking for all types of vendors from farm, vegetable and fruit stands, to baked goods, crafters, and other community market-type items. They are also looking for those who might want to provide demonstrations that pertain to Farm to School-type programs.

Vendors, farmers, crafters and others interested in vending at the market may do so with an approximate 12' x 12' space. The cost for this space is $12/market. Those interested contact Louise Rameau at 802-457-3753 or lrameau@wcsu.net.
