Even though we live in one of the most beautiful natural areas on the face of the planet, one of the downfalls is that summer just doesn't last as long as they should.  Beautiful, sunny weekends are in short demand and a good percentage of our neighbors use these weekends for outdoor recreation and travel.  Which makes it a challenge to attend our incredible Saturday Uptown Famer's Markets.

For those who miss the Uptown Farmer's Markets due to travel or camping, or even those who find shopping with the kids as a bit of a challenge, there is a possible solution to this dilemma.  An evening Farmer's Market in a new, family-friendly setting held on Thursday evenings, ahead of the weekend chaos.

BUTTE COMMUNITY MARKET AT CLARK PARK STARTING JUNE 26

The Butte Community Market will run Thursdays at Clark Park from 4pm to 8pm starting on June 26th and running through September 25th offering artisan gifts, local produce and live music.  The market will be set in the skating rink oval which will provide easy access and proximity to the Splash Pad which the kids will love and also plenty of room to spread out for an evening picnic as many food trucks are expected to participate as well,  Each week will have a different theme and the market is open to all, juried to two vendors in each category each week and the event has plenty of room to grow.

LOOK: 35 Vintage Cereals That Perfectly Captured Pop Culture Moments
