Find Waldo Today at the Bedford Farmers' Market

1. August is Eat Local Month! Gov. Maggie Hassan has officially proclaimed August New Hampshire Eat Local Month. She is encouraging all citizens and businesses to participate and support local farms. What better time to celebrate and enjoy all that our local food community has to offer! The official proclamation can be found by clicking here.

2. Speaking of eating local ... it's Tuesday! And that means it's Bedford Farmer's Market Day! Help your children find Waldo for a prize, meet the crew from Bedford's hot new paint and sip studio, The Canvas Roadshow, and purchase Grounds for Change from Bedford-owned and operated CQ Coffee Roasters. For more information on this week's festivities, located in the St. Elizabeth Seton parking lot on Meetinghouse Road, click here.

3. Don't forget your grass skirt! The Purple Finch Café is celebrating two years of great food and fun in Bedford this Thursday, Aug. 22, beginning at 7 a.m. Join the festivities and wear a Hawaiian Shirt, and don't forget to try The Purple Finch's Big Kahuna Burger!
