FARMINGTON – The public is invited to the Franklin County 4-H Open Air Market on Saturday, Aug. 27. This event is being held in partnership with the Saturday Farmington Farmers’ Market on Main Street in the District Court parking lot from 9 a.m. until noon.
The 4-H Open Air Market is an annual event giving 4-H members, ages 5 to 18, the opportunity to sell their produce, baked goods, and other handmade items to the general public. By doing so, they are able to practice the skills that are essential to developing a small business, such as expense tracking, marketing and customer service. They will each benefit directly from their sales.
In past years, as many as 20 4-H members have participated in the Market and have been able to use the proceeds for expenses incurred in their other 4-H activities. Currently, there are 11 4-H clubs and well over 100 youth members in Franklin County focusing on beef, dairy, dog training, fiber animals, horses and homemaker activities, among others.
For more information about the 4-H Open Air Market, please call Janine Winn at 778-3856.
We are looking forward to having The 4-H Open Air Market come to our market. Hope tp see you there.
