I didn't know a tomato could taste so good!
Musical talent "DANO" entertained the Farmers' Market crowd.
We bought his CD and the kids sang his catchy tunes for hours.
Dan Parr (Dano) is an amazing performer and artist who understands the value that music has
in a child's life and education. Dan spent 14 years in education as a teacher, coach, and principal
so his wide range of experience with children from 5 to 13 years of age gives him the insight that
produces the positive, motivating, fun-loving, and educational benefits of music for all ages.

The 3rd Season of the Frisco Farmers Market at Frisco Square, started on Saturday,
May 2, 2009, and will run for 22 weeks - thru September 19, 2009.
The FRISCO JAZZ BAND shared their talent on Opening Day! Free baloons for

Buy Fresh and Buy Local!
Dear Farmers Market Supporters,
Farmers Markets have been operating all over our country for well over 100 years. Farming is not only a way of life, it's their occupation ~ sharing their produce that is fresh from the farm. Bountiful colors and varieties of fruits and fresh vegetables - are all grown locally. Have you ever had fresh eggs? Tasted fresh honey? Tried true pasture raised beef, lamb, and pork? ( Ever tried a fresh tomato? Local ones are fleshy, ripe, and burst with flavor - vs. the pale, mealy wannabees that come in from out of state!)
These are all brought from the vine to our Farmers Market, and very often at a much lower price than in a regular market, and once you've tasted the good stuff - you'll be hooked!
The Frisco Noon Lions Club supports that entire concept. We support the "buy local ~ buy fresh" idea that gives customers the freshest fruits and vegetables available to them, by sponsoring the Frisco Farmers Market at Frisco Square.
We are currently getting ready for our 3rd Season, which will begin on Saturday, May 2nd,and run for 22 weeks - thru - September 19, 2009. 8 am to 2 pm (or sell out)
Also available at the Market: pasta, sauces, gourmet ingredients, cheesecake, cookies, muffins, cupcakes, and seafood.
This year there will also be a variety of crafters, bringing jewelry items, embroidery items done on the spot, fresh doggie treats, engraved glassware, and many others.
On May 2nd, the FRISCO JAZZ BAND will be performing during the market.
We invite you to come to Frisco Square (Located off of Main Street - in front of City Hall, and the Library on Coleman Blvd) Bring the family - balloons for the kids, and plenty of free parking is available.
If you would like any additional information, know of an organic grower who would like to become a vendor, or if you know a group, or someone that would like to entertain? Call Randi @ 214-407-6620
Thank you for your support! Come see us at the Farmers Market on May 2!!.
