Fridays: June 2 until Sept. 29 from 3:30 until 7:30 p.m. Robert McClure Farmer’s Market, 5510 26th Ave. N.E. Located in a highly multicultural, multi- religious, multi-ethnic community, the good folks at Robert McClure United Church see a unique opportunity to create a farmers’ market that celebrates northeast Calgary. We love our neighbourhood and it’s important to us that people eat healthy, locally produced food, that neighbours have an opportunity to gather and that local farmers and crafters have a space to sell their products. It will be an opportunity for various cultures to connect through music and food. Adults and children will enjoy different types of entertainment from talented musicians in our neighbourhood and other neighbourhoods in our city. To rent a stall at the Robert McClure Farmers’ Market, contact Karen Dingwall at kddingwall@hotmail.com or call 403-280-9500.
