The Atchison Farmers’ Market has the mission of developing a congenial, supportive community among our visitors, customers, and the farmers, bakers, and others who bring their ware to our market. This Saturday, we are inviting all to bring their art supplies (crayons, paints, markers, etc.) to the Market to create personal peace bringing artwork – Mandalas. A mandala is a symbol of the universe in its ideal form, and its creation signifies the transformation of a universe of suffering into one of joy. 

One of our AFM Board Members, Sabitha Salzmann, will do a food demonstration at the Market this Saturday, July 23. She will prepare Indian egg curry. Come enjoy!!!

This weekend is the return of the Amelia Earhart Festival in Atchison with Lakefest on Friday evening. Today, Saturday, there is a full schedule (see: https://local.aarp.org/event/amelia-earhart-festival-2022-07-16-atchison-ks.html).
