OVERLAND FARMERS MARKET OPENS MAY 9 AT NEW PAVILION

The Overland Farmers Market opens for its eighth season Saturday, May 9 in a newly built pavilion featuring 24 stalls with local vendors offering fresh produce, locally raised grass-fed beef, sweet Missouri honey and fresh-bakery goods, plus original arts, crafts, and live music.

The Market will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 pm at 2512 Woodson Road near Erickson Plaza, about one mile north of Page Avenue.

“We’re a magnet for bargain hunters and lovers of locally grown produce, as well as merchandise you can’t find anywhere else,” said Richard A. Kilzer, president of the Overland Farmers Market Board of Directors.

“We’re celebrating Mothers Day Weekend on opening day with beautiful displays of fresh flowers and plants, and we will give away carnations to the first 24 mothers who arrive at the market.”

“Our new, covered pavilion built by the City of Overland makes our market more accommodating for visitors and vendors.”

“Visitors can park right beside the pavilion in a free parking lot, and vendors can load and unload their goods easily by backing up next to their covered stall,” Kilzer said.

Popular singer-songwriter Steve Chosich will perform on opening day. Steve has performed his original style of acoustic music at many venues in metro St. Louis. He will appear from 10 a.m. to noon.

The Overland Farmers Market is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization managed by volunteers and supported by sponsors. Admission is free.
