Farmers' Market

JOHNSTON LIONS CLUB SPONSORS THE WEEKLY FARMERS' MARKET

Each Tuesday from the end of May until the first week of October over 30 vendors set up their tents at Johnston City Hall parking lot to provide Johnston residents with fresh produce, baked good, jams and jellies, kettle korn, fine crafts and other seasonal goodies.  This event is sponsored by the Johnston Lions Club and proceeds are donated to the City of Johnston for its tree and beautification projects.  Over $3000 is donated each year, thanks to Lions Club members who volunteer their time to advertise, set up signs, prepare the site for the Market each day and help with logistics during the Market.  Members of the Community are treated to the very freshest Iowa grown produce and the home baked goods and get to meet the  growers and bakers.  A perfect match for a Tuesday afternoon.
 
We hope you'll make the Farmers' Market a regular Tuesday stop for the freshest produce and baked goods.  Bring a lawn chair and listen to the live music, or have your BBQ on picnic tables on the lawn.  Other events are in the planning stages. This unique Market is sponsored by the Johnston Lions Club, and all proceeds go toward the City's Residential Tree Program.  For additional information, please contact Judy Anderson, Market Manager 278-0939 or andrsnjudy@mchsi.com.
