The Arnold Farmers Market will be relocated to the Arnold Recreation Center, 1695 Missouri State Road, for Saturday (May 13). The Farmers Market was supposed to open for the season on May 6 but was canceled because of flooding at Arnold City Park, where it’s normally held.
This week the Farmers Market will be open, but at the rec center’s outdoor pool parking lot. Hours are 8 a.m. to noon.
Numerous vendors will be there selling a variety of home-grown or home-produced items, like vegetables, plants, meat, eggs, soap, candles, honey and baked-goods.
Food will be sold at the event, and student fiddlers from the Lindbergh schools will perform. In addition, New Hope United Methodist Church in Arnold will provide children with flowers to give as Mother’s Day gifts.
Dickie Brown, the city’s newly hired parks director, said Thursday (May 4) he expects crews to work next week to clean up the front of Arnold City Park, where the Farmers Market typically is held, with the hopes that it can be open there on May 20.
After that, the Arnold Farmers Market is scheduled to be held at the park, which is on Bradley Beach Road off Jeffco Boulevard near the Meramec River, from 8 a.m. to noon every Saturday through Oct. 14.
