This past week at the Farmers Market went as fast as it came! Next week is the LAST week! What a season so far! If the final week is anything like this last week or most past weeks, you aren’t going to want to miss it!

We were treated to Ben Edwards, his awesome singing, and his incredible banjo and guitar skills! A special thanks to him for being the market’s feature for the first time! We look forward to welcoming Ben again next year!

The New Carlisle Farmer’s Market is fortunate to have several wonderful sponsors. This week we’d like to give a shout out to three of those superb sponsors.

J&R Insurance, located on S Church St, offers home, car, & business insurance. Brother’s Rob & Rick Pollock are always ready to answer your questions and they love the New Carlisle community. In fact, they know a few of the vendors at the Farmer’s Market and enjoy shopping there.

The New Carlisle Church of the Brethren has been an established organization for generations. Last year marked their 150yr anniversary, and during that time they’ve been an avid supporter of New Carlisle and it’s citizens. They have different activities going on almost every night of the week, for example wednesday night is a community dinner.

Last but certainly not least, is Jeff’s Automotive. They have the best diagnostic test in the area and service all makes and models.

Jeff Eggleston, owner of Jeff’s Automotive recently attempted a coast to coast cycling trip this summer to raise money for orphans and the homeless. Bravely, he faced the perils of this adventure for 3 charities, the Angel House, the Rotary Foundation, and the Interfaith Hospitality Network. Perilous it was, for shortly after starting he was involved in an accident and was hospitalized. He suffered a fractured skull, cracked ribs, and a collapsed lung among other things. After spending some time in the hospital, he is now home recovering. Jeff stated “If I finish recovering physically, mentally and financially, and the Lord is willing, next year I’ll try again… …I WILL FINISH UP!”

A huge thank you to all of our sponsors, and specifically these three! Remember, don’t miss the market’s last week this Saturday! We will welcome Gretchen Mitchell w/ Past and Present to the NCN Front Porch plus Phil Fogliani, author of the Sparky the Dragon children’s book series! So come out to the Market, stock up on your favorite foods and handmade goods, hear some great music and pick up books for the kids!
