Wow, yesterday’s market was hot, hot, hot! Our sun and salsa farmers’ market drew over 1200 patrons, who tasted over 17 varieties of gourmet salsas, listened to some smoking live latin tunes, and of course, enjoyed our largest number of vendors at market to date!
Celebrity judges Jay Michi, Executive Director of the Hillhurst Sunnyside Community Association, Ward 7 Alderman Druh Farrell and Kensington BRZ Executive Director Annie MacInnis had their work cut out for them – our vendors really outdid themselves with the salsa! At the end, -Shef of Pure Indulgent Foods took home top honours for the salsa competition, with Honorable Mention to both Route 40 and Sham’s Kitchen. Through this event, our not for profit market was able to help out another two not for profits – over $200 was raised for the Brenda Strafford Centre and Brown Bagging It For Calgary’s Kids.
