We have a great deal to look forward to in the upcoming days with Thanksgiving celebrations, being together with loved ones, and Small Business Saturday just around the corner on November 25. The latter is a great opportunity to support our local entrepreneurs, artisans, and small businesses that make our community unique and vibrant.

On this Thanksgiving, I wish to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude. In this season of reflection, I am especially thankful for friends like you, the joy of shared moments and the support that surrounds us.

This Sunday, November 19th, is the last Edgewood Park Farmers Market of the 2023 season. Seasonal produce, baked goods, beverages, meat, and prepared foods will be available.
