An Intergenerational Experience for All!
What started as a venue for our local farmers and customers to sell/purchase local fresh
fruit and vegetables has expanded! The Market has accomplished those goals and more …
it has become an educational, recreational and social gathering for those in the local and
surrounding communities.
Do you want to learn how to make salsa? Sign up for Cornell Cooperative Extension’s
workshop on August 8 (call 331-8415 … MUST pre-register) and make your own salsa to
take home and enjoy! On August 29 there will be a similar workshop on making corn relish.
Our “Special Events” canopy on the back row has become a popular place to congregate! Kids have made planter
boxers to take home. This workshop was led by Roy McCarthy, and he will be offering another wood-working workshop
on August 15. Again, kids MUST sign up (sheet at the market registration table or call 315-879-7420) so that we
have enough supplies for all. On August 29 th kids can make bluebird houses. This workshop is being led by Seneca
Meadows/Montezuma Audubon Center, and again, kids MUST sign up ahead of time.
Also on August 15 the Master Gardeners’ will present a workshop on composting … is it time to learn this technique
to rescue our environment? Show up for this invaluable information!
On September 12 Dick Ransley will be the docent for an Historical walk down Main Street Sodus. Join Dick to take a
walk down memory lane … Knapp’s Pharmacy with their delicious cherry cokes, the movie theater, Gardner’s Clothing
Store … a nostalgic time to enjoy on a short walk.
Need to improve your lifestyle with a little low impact exercise? Over 50 market visitors participated in Creating
Healthy Places Bike and Hike on July 18, and continuing in this vein we will sponsor a walk monthly. Meet at the
Market at 4 p.m. on September 5 and October 3 for Walk With a Doc. Doctor’s Arif Choudhury and Lory Ghertner
will meet you there. Sue Minier, RN and Darcy Davidson, Rn, will take your blood pressure before the walk begins,
and you will receive a bottle of water to keep you hydrated on the walk. Upon return you will receive a nutritious
snack and be entered in a drawing to receive a market bag full of vendor-donated fresh fruits and veggies.
Another way to help our environment is to donate your old eyeglasses to the Lioness Club of Sodus for recycling.
Bring them to market on August 22, and while there, select from a variety of delicious home-baked cookies for a nominal
fee to support the club’s local service projects.
Bring your unused electronics to market on August 15 or September 19 for our Electronic Recycling project.
Mike Boone will share garlic recipes at the market on September 5 th …be sure to pick up some of these delicious and
healthy recipes!
All this, and more … to say nothing of the bountiful choice of local fresh produce provided by our faithful vendors!!!
Be sure to plan on having your dinner at market … you can choose from barbeque chicken, pulled pork, hots or hamburgers
at Pop’s House concession, or tostada’s, burritos, enchiladas … at El Rincon’s stand. Then sit and relax under
the shade trees, and enjoy your meal with the company of your family and friends.
See you at the Market!
Fruits of the Spirit
Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no
law.
If you have a story to share about a good deed (either a personal experience,
or something you read about), please bring it to the church office for our
bulletin board “Fruits of the Spirit.” Sandy Hall
Sunday School Good Start Sunday
