Lyman Orchards Apple Barrel Farm Market

<h3>Buy your holiday gifts and support the next generation of young entrepreneurs!</h3>
The Kids Market is an award-winning program that gives kids the opportunity to experience what it's really like to run their own business. Children ages 5-17 can create a product or service, set up their own booth, interact with customers, take payments and experience the excitement of making their first sales!
<h3>Is your child ready to be a young entrepreneur?</h3>
Their product can be almost anything (except food!) handmade items, store-bought products, games, crafts, services and more. Most importantly, it should be something people want to buy!
This is a chance for kids to take the lead while parents sit back and watch them build valuable skills in entrepreneurship, innovation and leadership.
Children must be able to, with minimal adult help:
<ol><li>Complete their prep work</li><li>Take and fulfill orders and answer customer questions</li><li>Take payment and make change</li></ol>
Parents can assist when needed, and children with disabilities or special needs are welcome to participate with any necessary parental assistance.
Children may not sell goods on behalf of their parents. They must have an active role in the acquisition and/or production of their product.
No fundraisers, MLMs or animals are permitted. No refunds or credits will be given for any reason.

Middletown House Concert Series presents

The trio of artists that is The Refugees emerged on the music scene as a verifiably unmatched force of talent, diversity, and experience. Each successful in their own right as a solo artist, Cidny Bullens, Deborah Holland and Wendy Waldman formed their unique and innovative group in 2007 and since that time have been wowing audiences, radio DJs, and music critics alike with their soaring harmonies, indelible musicianship, and unforgettably humorous stage presence.
Individually, The Refugees have logged almost five decades in the industry, with more than twenty solo albums and multiple Grammy Award nominations to their credit, featuring musical styles that blend country, rock, folk, blues and Americana. To describe them as eclectic would be an understatement. These three artists have utilized their intense drive and relentless passions to create an entirely new sound. They have produced four critically acclaimed albums—Unbound, Three, How Far It Goes, and 2024’s gem California. To commemorate The Refugees 20th anniversary, they are releasing a “best of” album that will include several new songs in January 2027.
They continue to tour around the country and together have become a songwriting force sought after by some of music’s top artists and songwriters.Suggested donation: $35
