Farmers Market to Celebrate the 4th
of July
“Market
will remain open late featuring live music, children’s activities and the
’Safe and Sound’ campaign.”
Vancouver’s Farmers Market will pick up the celebration while the
Vancouver Reserve will go dark as it prepares for a return of the fireworks in 2010. Esther Short Park
will be the place to bring the family for a day of festivities including music and children’s activities.
“The objective
of this free event is to provide Vancouver Farmers Market (VFM) patrons a family oriented day at the park to celebrate our
nation’s birthday,” says Debbie Whitman, VFM president.
“The market will remain open until 8 pm, with
musicians on the stage in Esther Short Park.”
The market will open at its regular time while events on the stage in
the park will begin at 10:00 am until 8 pm; groups include:
The Slim Jim’s
Ruby Hill
Johanin
Shadows Awake
Mother Joseph and the Altar Boys
The Thirsting
and
There She Goes
At 4:30 PM the Safe and Sound campaign,
a national benefit for our nation’s wounded veterans and
their families,
will present two national artists
who have donated songs for the project.
Natalie
Pinkis,
who has recently recorded with producer Bob Johnston,
and past American Idol contestant
Lana
Philips,
whose duet with Willie Nelson, are the center of the
‘Safe and Sound’ Campaign.
Throughout
the day the Market will have a variety of non-profit organizations in the park
sharing how they give back to our community.
Grab your lawn chairs and the entire family
for this wonderful day of celebration.
