The Critters Are Coming To Town....


The Saugerties Farmers Market is hosting Farm Animal Day on Saturday, September 4th, 2010 from 9am-1pm. This free, fun filled event promises to be exciting for children of all ages.


Come on down to Cahill School parking lot at 119 Main Street in the Village of Saugerties and meet some of the feathered and furry, wiggly and squirmy, fuzzy and snugly farm critters while also enjoying live music, pony rides, crafts, face painting, antique tractors, animal cookies and tastes of the freshest produce in town.


Participants include:


A menagerie of farm animal friends from Debby Snyder, of Snyder’s Farm in Saugerties.


Pony rides by Bailiwick Ranch of Catskill, from 11am-1pm.


A pair of regal llamas from Wiltbank Farms.


Bees, bunnies and worms from Diane Carlson of Greene Earth Farms.


Tastes of fresh local fruits and vegetables from various vendors at the market.


A collection of rare farm equipment from The Antique Tractor Club of Saugerties.


Ratboy Jr., local kids band extraordinaire, will be performing at the market from 11am-12pm.


DJ Daikon will host a kids DJ dance party and provide music throughout the day.


Face painting by local artist Maggie Green.


A collage craft table hosted by Saugerties Art Lab.
