If you’re a fan of fresh corn (and who isn’t?), set aside some time next Saturday morning (18 August) to attend the Regina Farmer’s Market Corn Festival.

It runs from 9:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. beside the Copper Kettle (1900 block Scarth Street, Regina).

Here’s what you can look forward to:

The Lajord Hutterite Colony will be cooking and buttering fresh cobs of Sheba corn for $1.50. All proceeds from the sale go to the Cosmopolitan Learning Center. Come and enjoy the sweetest corn in the province, and support a good cause too!

For more information call 581-7408 or send an E-mail here.

Our next meeting will be Tuesday 14 August at 7:00. If you’d like to attend, please send us an E-mail for the location.

As well as considering several other interesting initiatives, we’ll be discussing our plans for World Vegetarian Day (01 October).
