A very hands-on event, a nature hike with naturalists at <br />interpretive stations had kids and parents touching and seeing live tadpoles, <br />seeing and smelling wildflowers, hearing calls of songbirds, identifying Mon- <br />arch butterfly stages of life, learning about deer and muskrats. Everyone gath- <br />ered round to learn and see closeup Barred and Screech Owls perched on a <br />naturalist’s glove. There were clay art nature impressions and prairie grass <br />plantings to be taken home. Ninety people came, with many parents asking <br />that the event be an annual offering. <br />The first season of the Lake Elmo Farmers Market is <br />underway! The Farmers Market is open every Satur- <br />day from 10 AM to 1 PM and is located in the Hag- <br />strom Courtyard at 3511 Lake Elmo Avenue North. <br />Over 100 residents and customers braved the rain on <br />June 13th to be the first to sample craft bakery, fresh <br />produce, flowering plants and other culinary delights <br />customary at Farmers Markets. <br />“Despite the rain, we had a nice turnout of support <br />for the Farmers Market”, said newly elected Coun- <br />cil Member Jill Lundgren, founder/coordinator of the <br />Lake Elmo Farmers Market. <br />For more information call Council Member Lundgren <br />at 651-261-4493 or go to the Facebook page at Lake <br />Elmos Farmers Market, where updates will be pro- <br />vided on new offerrings as the summer/fall growing <br />seasons develop. <br />Farmers Market Open Through <br />October 31st <br />Residents and customers explore at the first day of the new Lake Elmo Farmers <br />Market. The Farmers Market will be open every Saturday from 10 AM to 1 PM <br />through October and will feature fresh produce and a variety of other seasonal <br />items.
