Salsa Festival at Ellington Farmers' Market Saturday September 5th 9-12 in Arbor Park

We are celebrating late summer with a Salsa Station featuring a variety of salsas both fresh and cooked, sweet and savory, mild and spicy. All made with local and fresh ingredients!
Mother Nature is continuing her string of lovely weather as we celebrate Salsa Saturday at the Market from 9 to noon. Every kind of salsa imaginable will be on display for your tasting and purchasing pleasure. Fresh, locally grown produce is still plentiful and this late summer warm weather is helping crops to continue to produce. Jeannie Pomeroy-Murphy, everyone’s favorite country singer/guitarist, will serenade you as you gather the goods, hopefully in your reusable cloth bags or colorful market baskets. Join us for the fun, this Saturday at Arbor Park in downtown Ellington.

Music this week by Jeannie Pomeroy-Murphy

Back by popular demand, market favorite Jeannie Pomeroy- Murphy is a versatile local guitarist/singer. She performs with 3 diverse bands, is an accomplished solo artist in the Hartford area, and was Connecticut Country Music’s Female Entertainer of the Year. Bring a chair to relax under the trees and enjoy the powerful voice of Jeannie on a lovely late summer morning.
