Friday Markets Join Weekend Crowd
And Local Food Forum gets another star turn on The Mike Nowak Show
Local Food Forum Back With Mike Nowak
Sunday 9:30-10:00 a.m. Online
I’m pleased to announced a return engagement on The Mike Nowak Show with Peggy Malecki this Sunday morning. As was the case for my May 9 chat, we’ll be talking about how the local farmers market season is going.
You can tune into the show (which runs from 9-11 a.m. in its entirety) at the Mike Nowak Show website or its pages on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. Mike was kind enough to mention Local Food Forum in a video he recorded last weekend with Nilda Esparza, manager of the Logan Square Farmers Market (click the button below to view).
June is busting out all over with 29 markets added to Local Food Forum’s listings just this week (including our first Friday markets) and another 17 joining this coming week — on top of the long list of early-starting markets that have been open for up to a month.
Please tune in Sunday and share with your friends. It’s an opportunity to laugh with me or laugh at me, so you can’t lose.
