Strawberry fest was a sweet success

I would like to publically thank the Aurora Community Band for their excellent musical offerings at the Aurora Farmers’ Market on June 21!
From Gershwin to Big Band music in the background, the Market pulsed with excitement while we distributed free strawberry skewers compliments of Willowtree Farm, Cooper’s Farm and 19th Avenue Farm! (We gave out 380 skewers and our farmers actually SOLD OUT of strawberries by noon!)
I’d like to thank our staff (Kiersten, Aaron and Joanna) for their tremendous help to ensure that 36 families enjoyed releasing live butterflies in the Town Park! Wishes, blessing and dreams were proclaimed by young and old as the butterflies flew away.
Thank you also to our incredible student volunteers who were very focused and helpful to ensure that our customers had an enjoyable time by offering carry-out service, preparing and distributing strawberries, and hosting free crafts for all children.
Great teamwork!
