The 15th Annual Armena Community Market is taking place outside on Monday, September 7 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Armena Anniversary Park. The market will feature local artisans and farmers selling their home-baked, crafted, grown and raised products. Market goers will also be entertained by live music from a variety of local musicians. Kids’ entertainment includes a bouncy castle, face painting, rock painting and lawn games. A concession will be on site serving up beef on a bun and homemade pies. It will be a great day to come out to Armena to catch up with new and old friends alike while supporting local small businesses and Armena Athletic Association, the host of the event.
