Venders at the Marianna City Farmers Market will host their annual “Melons in the Park” event on Saturday, June 26, in Madison Street Park from 7 a.m. to noon.
“This event is in celebration of the fruit that defines summer,” vendor Sally Waxgiser said in a press release.
It provides opportunities for door prizes, like Market Dollars, as well as a the usual big array of fresh produce now coming available at the start of summer.
Food trucks will also set up shop that morning.
There will be door prizes, such as watermelons, food baskets and Market Dollars, along with hourly bag-toss and Hula Hoop contests, free watermelon slices, cold drinks for purchase, and market bakers have been asked to make an extra-plenty of their homemade treats to sell.
The first 25 people that use the market’s online ordering and curbside pick-up will be given an insulated, reusable grocery bag courtesy of Farm Credit of Northwest Florida.
