Rep. Ilhan Omar visits the Midtown Farmers Market!
In light of National Farmers Market Week, we are thrilled to share that our MN representative Ilhan Omar will be visiting the Midtown Farmers Market today – Tuesday, August 13th between 4:30 and 5:30pm. No public remarks are planned – just a tour! We are delighted to have her tour the market to speak with vendors and community members. Rep. Omar is a strong advocate for local food systems, community health and inclusive public spaces. As a former child and family nutrition educator with the University of MN, she knows first-hand the importance and impact of community-based farmers markets.
Please consider visiting the market today to give a warm welcome to our representative and thank her for her advocacy of vibrant, sustainable local food systems. It will be an honor to share our work with her!
Weather-related FYI: We are closely watching the weather! We are regretfully acknowledging the real possibility of thunderstorms later this afternoon, which may force us to cancel the market. Setting those expectations early and sending all the good vibes for just rain. Thank you for your support and cooperation!!
