The 10th Anniversary of the Perth Farmers' Market

On Saturday 27 July, 2002 the Perth Farmers' market celebrated 10 successful years of operation. A 10th anniversary book on the history of the market was unveiled, and autographed copies were available. There was speeches, an anniversary cake, a special walk around to meet the Vendors, and a special draw at 12:30 for a copy of the Anniversary Book and gifts provided by the Farmers' Market Association.

What is a celebration without a cake? This one had the "Come for the Freshness, Stay for the Fun" slogan of the market.

...and Music!

After the formal ceremonies, the crowds were entertained by the music of Colores Andinos. Colores Andinos (Andean Colors) is an original musical exploration into Latin-Andean fusion. Its members come originally from Chile, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Peru and Canada. Since they came together as a group in Ottawa in 1997, they have been touring many places in Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia.
