The Wadena Farmers Market will be holding a series of fun, creative events this market season funded by a grant from the Five Wings Arts Council.
From June through September, the Farmers Market will have these activities at the market on the second and fourth Fridays of the month during the normal market hours from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on the lawn next to Wesley Hospital. These events will be free and open to the public, although for some events, it should be noted that supplies will be limited and it will be first-come, first-serve, according to a University of Minnesota Extension news release.
Children, adults, and the elderly are welcome to enjoy these events, so check out what each of these events entails.
