ARMENA COMMUNITY
M A R K E T
Members of the Armena community at Maplewood Acres Greenhouse sort through piles of fresh cucumbers, giant zucchinis and carrots as they get ready for their annual Armena Community Market. For many in the area, the late-summer market is a chance to stock up on homegrown produce and enjoy a day outside, while catching up with family and friends. Taking place on September 1, the market celebrates the work of local vendors. The market will take place at the Armena Recreation Grounds from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. In addition to the market, families will also be able to enjoy crafts, live music, food, and more!
