We say goodbye and I say Hello

As many of you know by now we said goodbye to Carmen Ditzler, the Farmers' Market Manager here at the Millarville Racing & Ag Society a few months ago. She has embarked on an amazing family travel experience exploring the United States and Canada. We miss her dearly and I will admit we were all envious and maybe a little jealous, of her courage to leave a life as she knew it and be so adventurous! You go girl!
 
I have had the honour of replacing Carmen as the Market Manager for the Millarville Farmers' Market for this upcoming Season and beyond.  I have been with the Racetrack since Sept 2011, so this is not completely foreign to me, but I definitely have some gigantic shoes to fill. I am really excited about this Summer and getting to know all the new vendors, the existing vendors better, and rubbing shoulders with visitors from near and far.

June 15th is opening day!  9am - 2pm.  We will be open every Saturday until Thanksgiving weekend, Oct 12th.

I will update you about the excitement here at the market and of the grounds themselves throughout the season.

So, to start, there have been a few changes to the grounds themselves. We have expanded the concession a little bit in order to offer more food options to our visitors. The concession will now be host to a variety of ethnic options like: Eats of Asia, Sichanis Mediterranean Grill, A Touch of India, Hold the Mustard featuring gourmet hot dogs and Gluten free options, and Primal Eats.   We are expecting to knock your dining experience out of the park this year with fast and friendly service and of course, super delicious food!

Another big improvement that is well underway is that we have knocked down an old storage building beside the concession in order to build the brand new Legacy Picnic Area.

It's going to provide all of our visitors with a shady, dry and during the Christmas Market, a warm place to enjoy the great new food from the concession.

23 more sleeps until opening day, but who's counting?
