Welcome to Spring everyone!                                               

It just seems like we were crowning the championship team at the Chili Cook-Off, and now June 2^nd, opening day of the Des Moines “Waterfront” Farmers Market is fast approaching. And what a day it will be. Coming off its most successful seasons in history (up 30% each of the past two years), the Market will have a new look this seventh season on opening day. Having out grown its old space, the market will move down the street to the newly remodeled North end of the Des Moines Marina. The word “Waterfront” in its name will be prominent as the location is right on the water where the guest yachts are moored. Look for the new Boardwalk Bistro where you will be able to enjoy your favorite market foods while watching the boating activities.

Opening Day activities will include a military color guard ceremony, presenting the emblem (US Flag) that will be unfurled from the South King Fire & Rescue ladder truck. Also on display will be the WTC 911 artifact. Along with these opening activities, a few classic cars will be displayed, the Des Moines Arts Commission will be showcasing some local artists, radio station WARM 106.9 will be doing a remote broadcast and The Waterland Blog will be blogging live.

Don’t forget to bring your old musical instruments and donate them to the Rotary Music4Life program. They will be at the market the first three weekends in June. The program refurbishes the instruments and gives them to the Highline School students who can’t afford them.

This will be an exciting year for the market as there will be a lot of new vendors (homemade fruit pies, ice cream, hot dogs again and some new fruit and vegetable farmers), as well as all your old favorites. The market again will feature its own wines, including last year’s favorite Waterfront White. And yes, the pizza boys (girls) will be back.

View a video of the market and its new location. To keep up with all the current happenings at the market, please log onto our web site and sign up for our e-newsletter that comes out once a week. You can also keep up on our activities by visiting one of our sponsors the WaterlandBlog.

Please feel free to send this message on to all your friends.

See you on OPENING DAY!
