Next
week, Pathfinder Village will be celebrating its one year anniversary for the
Pathfinder Produce market. What a year it’s been!
We
cannot thank our customers, the 5-2-1-0 Every Day program, our wonderful
volunteers and other community supporters enough … this has been a project to
benefit our home community through the help of our home community. It’s
been incredibly rewarding and educational, and we believe we are making
positive changes to support community health.
To
celebrate we’ll be hosting some special offerings during the market on Thursday,
March 20, which also happens to be the day before World Down Syndrome
Day. This global event celebrates the talents of individuals with Trisomy
21, and also shines a light on how communities are made stronger through the
involvement of people living with disabilities.
To
celebrate both events, our Produce market will feature:
- Cooking demonstrations by Brian Belknap from Edmeston Central School. Brian will prepare a Spinach and Grape Tomato Sauté for folks to try.
- Pathfinder Village staff will be blending up easy and refreshing smoothies.
- There will be a drawing for Produce Market Gift Certificates.
- Pathfinder Village will distribute pins in celebration of World Down Syndrome Day
- And finally, Pathfinder will kick off its new Premium Produce Buyers Club, a rewards card to celebrate our customers.
We
hope to see you on this Thursday, and have a great week. Happy St.
Patrick’s Day!
