Events and Activities : Kid's Night Thursday, July 7th, 5-7 p.m. at Vinton Farmers Market

This Thursday July 7th from 5-7 PM will be Kid’s Night at the Vinton Farmers Market. We will be debuting our new Cucumber/Vegetable races where kids will be able to make and decorate their own race cars from veggies...and then race them against others! We will also have our first ever Ugly/Weird/Goofy-Looking Vegetable (or fruit) Contest so if you think you’ve got a potential candidate for this competition, bring it on by the Vinton Railroad Depot by 5:15 PM. Entries will be voted on and the owner of the winning entry will not only get their unique produce back, but they’ll take home some great prizes too! There will be other kids games happening as well so be sure to stop on by! And as always, we’ll have our wonderful vendors once again providing you with the freshest produce and baked goods along with some neat and attractive high-quality handicrafts! Merchant’s Grilling will also be selling sandwiches and VPRD will have the drinks and chips. For more information, please call the Vinton Parks & Recreation Department at 319-472-4164.
