New Farmers and Artisan Market to Launch in Seward

SEWARD – The Town of Seward will launch a new bi-weekly Farmers & Artesian Market this summer, featuring local produce, handmade goods, and live music.

The market will kick off on Wednesday, July 2, and run every other Wednesday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. through October 22. It will be located at 5765 State Route 10, at the corner of Lowe Road.

Scheduled dates for the market are:

July 2, 16, and 30

August 13 and 27

September 10 and 24

October 8 and 22

Organizer Angela Clapper said that the group is looking to do different themes at different markets. At the July 2 market, the Cobleskill Community Library will be there to talk about different programs and offer free books. There will be a food truck for the first three events and there is an effort to bring in local musicians.

There will be at least 11 vendors planned for the first markets.

At the July 16 market there should be a racecar and driver open to the public.

Organizers are currently seeking local vendors, musicians, and volunteers to participate in the new community event. The fee for vendors is $10. Local musicians are invited to perform each market night, and volunteers are needed to assist with tasks such as parking and registration.

For more information, or to sign up as a vendor, musician, or volunteer, contact Angela Clapper at (518) 337-3722 or Angelaclapper@yahoo.com.
