It’s time to hit the ballot box

THIS JUST IN: WDIV Local 4 is back with its Vote for the Best contest, with 80 categories across the metro area, and the Farmington Farmers Market is on the ballot. No surprise, really, since we’ve won Best Farmers Market in Metro Detroit eight of the last nine years.

But we don’t sit on our laurels. The Market has improved every year, adding new farms (the all-organic Two Tracks Acres) and new vendors (pizzas, crepes and organic flour this year).

And just wait till you see what we’re doing on July 4.

So here’s what you can do: VOTE!

We are open rain or shine – or snow – from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays, May 2 through November 7, at the Sundquist Pavilion, 33113 Grand River Ave. in downtown Farmington.

An Otter in the Park this Saturday

New York may have Shakespeare in the Park, but this Saturday Farmington will have the Spring Readers Theatre Club in the Park – downtown’s Riley Park.

Lanigan Elementary School and Blue Cheese Theatre are joining forces to present this special event starting at 11 a.m. in the park that’s in the midst of the Farmington Farmers Market.

That’s where young actors will perform scenes from the children’s book, “My Otter Half,” which was this year’s "One School, One Book" selection by Farmington Public Schools

Come enjoy theater in the park at 11 a.m. Saturday!
