Ellington Farmers' Market Saturday Oct. 8th 9-12 in Arbor Park, 33 Main St.
Birds of Prey Program 10:00
Join us this Saturday as we celebrate birds. "Our Feathered Friends" will feature a Birds of Prey demonstration by Horizon Wings at 10:00 AM that will be entertaining and educational, and is a favorite of our market patrons young and old. Vendors will be bringing handcrafted bird houses and feeders. Ellington Agway will be on hand to give expert advice on how to feed your backyard birds in the winter, and our veggie and fruit vendors still have plenty of delicious and fresh produce ripe from their farms. You can enjoy live music while you shop so start stocking up on market favorites as there are only three remaining outdoor markets! Join us at Arbor Park on Main Street for all the fun.
