On 9/14/24 our Aylus volunteers went to the CCE farmers market at Eisenhower Park. The market was very small today but there were still many products being sold like coffee, baked goods, crafts, microgreens, and more. Today was also the Long Island Fair so we were missing a lot of the equipment we usually have. Our most popular stand Schneiders farm, was also gone for the first time in three years.
Our volunteers started as early as 8:30 by helping by bringing supplies from the building and setting up the tents. Only one tent was set up today which was the information tent which gave information about gardening and farmers markets to visitors. The activity table was set up, but the Taste NY tent was not set up because taste NY was at the LI fair. The activities table had many activities for the kids like coloring sheets, word searches, stickers, and more. Volunteers welcomed visitors, kept count of how many people came, and helped kids with the handouts. Members also told guests to go to the LI fair and take a look at the CCE barn.
