Call for volunteers: Hands needed to continue growing farmers market
The Andover farmers market, now in its fourth year, has been growing by leaps and bounds, and the Andover Historical Society is looking for volunteers to help keep it strong on the vine.
Hundreds of people visit the market each week to buy the fresh produce and enjoy activities. Market manager Debbie DeSmet plans a full program of activities, crafts, demonstrations, and live music that make the Andover farmers market a place to be for many on Saturday afternoons.
The Andover Historical Society, which hosts the market and organizes activities, needs volunteers to help with setup, staffing the society's information booth and reception desk, and cleanup. The market runs Saturdays, 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. through Oct. 9. This is an opportunity for high-school and college students, or for anyone who enjoys the farmers market and working with the public, according the historical society. To learn more about the volunteer opportunity or to request an application, call Debbie DeSmet at 978-475-2236.
