Market Update September 21, 2024 -

Market Update September 21, 2024 Autumn is eternal in its color and is a time of maturity; but it is the season for enjoying the fullness of life and a time to slow down and turn inward as the long winter arrives. People love going out to the pumpkin patch, picking apples from trees, and enjoying the beautiful scenery around them.

We would like to thank our market sponsors and patrons for the continued support and love of The Cheyenne Farmers Market. Although we have 3 markets left after this weekend, we just can't say thank you enough to all of you!

Last Thursday we had our annual BBQ for the homeless, this event is a chance for us to get out in the community, give someone a meal they otherwise may have not had, and share our programs. Thank you to everyone who made this event possible, including Salvation Army for the drinks, Jo-Ed Produce for the burgers, hot dogs, and veggies, Olive Garden for the salads, Comea House and Resource Center for the chairs, and Laramie County Senior Services for the tables.
