Prepare Your Child's Identification Kit with CT State Police at Ellington Farmers' Market Saturday Aug. 29th 9-12

Summer moves toward its “swan song” as we move forward, and Mother Nature is still being kind to us! We have much to celebrate as we continue to enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables from local farmers. Our friends from the Connecticut State Police will be on hand this Saturday for our annual Children’s ID program. Keep your little ones safe and prepare a kit including photos and fingerprints. Come and enjoy the music of Zach Silk as he sings and plays multiple instruments. There are a limited number of Saturday mornings left, so bring your reusable bags and baskets and enjoy the company of family, friends and neighbors at the market from 9 - 12

Child ID Program
The Connecticut State Police will be conducting a free Kids’ ID program at the market all morning. They will help you prepare a kit including photos and fingerprints to have on hand in case of an emergency.

Music this week by Zach Silk

Based in Worcester County, Zack brings you good old-time back-porch Americana roots music, switching between mandolin, 5-string banjo, and guitar, accompanying himself with harmonica and a stomping foot. Sticking close to tradition, Zack cultivates old tunes adding his own arrangements to some well seasoned classics as well as performing an ever growing collection of original material hand carved from the same tree. It is music set to get your feet a tappin’, your smile wide and your mind in another place in time.
