MARK YOUR CALENDARS!! The next Franklin Foodie Happy Hour(s) will be next Wednesday, June 30th from 5pm-7pm at The Commons, 2nd floor terrace. Chef Asa has come up with a delicious mini appetizer buffet, original bite-size creations, especially for us foodies ($5 per person). The Commons has also graciously offered to donate two $25 gift cards: 1 for the person who brings the most canned goods for the food drive for St. John’s Food Pantry and the 2nd one to be raffled off to one lucky winner. Bring your foodie friends, make new ones, eat some great food and help out a good cause. Don’t miss out on all the fun!
I LOVE summer, there are so many great fresh veggies and fruits to eat and so many fun things to do outside. Did you know you could go to the Farmer’s Market EVERY DAY of the week except Sunday? Monday, Oil City 12noon-5pm; Tuesday, Titusville 10am-2pm; Wednesday, Franklin 7am-1pm; Thursday, Oil City 12noon-5pm; Friday, Knox 4pm-7pm; Saturday, Franklin, 7am-1pm. I am very pleased to have been invited to do cooking demos at the Knox Farmers Market this Friday, June 25th (4pm-7pm) and the Franklin Farmers Market on Saturday, July 3rd (8am-11am). Come visit me and get free samples of our farmer’s bounty, I’ll be cooking up tasty dishes using ingredients donated by the farmers. I’d love to see you! Buy fresh buy local, it’s good for you and your community.
