Dearborn’s Farmer’s and Artisan Market, which is preparing for its second season beginning June 5, is in need of volunteers to promote the market, set-up and tear down and assist with general operations.

The market will have a new location this year, outside on the property of the Bryant Library, at the corner of Michigan and Mason.

Many of us here have expressed our support in words or by visiting the Market, which is hosted by the Dearborn Chamber of Commerce, but now is our chance to offer some physical volunteer support.

The Farmer’s and Artisan Market is exactly what Dearborn needs to boost foot traffic and bring some life to our downtown. Helping it to continue to be a success is something all of us in Dearborn can contribute to.

Nearly 25 vendors will again provide local produce each Friday beginning June 5 and running until Oct. 30 between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m.

For those interested, a special volunteer meeting will be held at the Chamber Offices, 15544 Michigan Ave., (just west of Greenfield) on March 19 at 9:30 a.m. Additional information can be obtained by writing Joan Reed, the manger for the Farmer’s Market, at jreed@dearbornchamber.org
