Hi all,
Highlight #1:GET YOUR KNIVES AND OTHER BLADES SHARPENED THIS SUNDAY, JUNE 7, AT TFM!
Whether you are cooking dinner or trimming hedges, a properly sharpened blade will make completing your job faster, easier, and more enjoyable. We offer sharpening of kitchen knives, scissors, lawn mower blades (must be removed by owner), garden shears, shovels, spades, axes; just about anything with a blade except woodworking tools and chainsaws. Our objective is to make having sharp tools convenient. We'd love for you to stop by our space at the Trinidad Farmers Market to try us out! Bring your kitchen knives, scissors, garden tools, lawn mower blades, shovels, and axes and let us make that dull blade razor sharp.
Highlight #2:The Buy Nothing Exchange is coming... Sunday, June 14. Bring items to give away. Take things with you that you need at home. All for FREE!
Highlight #3:11th Street Bridge Park vendors will be at TFM on some Sundays. 11th Street, a non-profit, supports young business upstarts, especially young businesses from Wards 7 and 8. The vendors will rotate depending on the month. They will work out of a trailer uniquely designed for start-up retail shops.
Highlight #4:A handful of TFM vendors are part-time vendors. Some notable schedules:
* Mastiha Taverna (Greek Food) -- At TFM on 6/14, 6/28, 7/12, 7/26 (every other Sunday)
