The King Street Farmers’ Market is hosting a Blood Drive with The Blood Connection on Tuesday, June 11th from 3:30-6:30 p.m at 126 Poplar Grove Connection, Boone NC (In front of the Watauga County Health Department).
This weekly farmers’ market has a fine selection of local produce, eggs, meats, and goat cheese as well as artisan crafts, body products, native plants, and flower bouquets. On this coming Tuesday, there will also be the opportunity to donate blood! The Blood Connection is a non-profit community blood center that supports local healthcare partners – so if you donate, your blood will support someone in this region!
After you donate blood, replenish your energy with some hot food from the Carolina Food Monger food truck, listen to some old-time music from Ellie and friends, and shop the incredible variety of products from our local vendors. If you come with kids, they will be invited to participate in a craft at our Kids’ Booth facilitated by Girl Scout Troop 13114.
Have a SNAP/EBT card, SUN Bucks card, or participate in the Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program? Be sure to visit the managers’ booth to double your benefits up to $75 per day to spend on local food.
Music at the King Street Farmers Market is brought to you by NC Arts Council and the Watauga Arts Council. Thanks to their support, local musicians perform each week at the market for the delight of all.
Be sure to stop by the market this Tuesday for an incredible local shopping experience and to donate blood to support your community!
