Hi all,
Highlight #1:The Buy Nothing Exchange is this Sunday, June 14 (9 AM to 1 PM). Bring items to give away. Take things with you that you need at home. All for FREE!
Highlight #2:GET YOUR EGGS (AND POULTRY, BREAKFAST LINKS, FISH -- YES FISH AND CRABS!!!) -- WITH HAPPY HENS' BARNYARD
Happy Hens' Barnyard's eggs have great yolk muscle tone (i.e., they taste creamier than the eggs you get at Safeway and Giant).
Did you know that Happy Hens' also sells chicken thighs, chicken breasts, and even FISH and CRABS? They do!
For fish and crabs, you will need to order in advance by calling 443-248-0535.
Highlight #3:GET YOUR KNIVES AND OTHER BLADES SHARPENED ON SUNDAY, JUNE 21, AT TFM!
Whether you are cooking dinner or trimming hedges, a properly sharpened blade will make completing your job faster, easier, and more enjoyable. We offer sharpening of kitchen knives, scissors, lawn mower blades (must be removed by owner), garden shears, shovels, spades, axes; just about anything with a blade except woodworking tools and chainsaws. Our objective is to make having sharp tools convenient. We'd love for you to stop by our space at the Trinidad Farmers Market to try us out! Bring your kitchen knives, scissors, garden tools, lawn mower blades, shovels, and axes and let us make that dull blade razor sharp.
Highlight #3:A handful of TFM vendors are part-time vendors. Some notable schedules:
* Mastiha Taverna (Greek Food) -- Temporarily not coming to TFM due to fire damage at their cooking facility. (Double Dip will fill in during this time.)

Join us for a exploration of friendship, queerness exploration, and community uplifting. **Join us for a post-show reception to meet the artists and celebrate the launch of the final performance. RSVP by responding to this email.
June 14 @ 4PM- Rola Z: MAKE AMERICA HOME is an experiential one-woman show blending stand-up comedy, storytelling, and audience engagement to explore humor as resilience in the face of displacement, aging with audacity, collective healing, the body as witness, and the true meaning of home.
June 20 @ 4PM- Kyoko Fujimoto: Poisoned Apple is a bold, interactive contemporary dance work that reimagines the classic Snow-White narrative through the high-pressure lens of modern digital life. In this world, the fairy tale is not just a story told to you.
June 21 @ 4PM- Eva Lewis: Help Wanted: Looking for a Black Woman This show dives into the hilarity, awkwardness, and fun of how Black women show up in today’s America while not taking themselves too seriously. This laugh out loud experience will leave audiences feeling like slightly better allies.
(D) Trivia -- Lunchables weren't meant for kidsLunchables were invented to help sell more bologna, and they weren't meant to be for kids. This was because in the 1980s, sales of bologna dropped as people were buying less of it due to health concerns about eating too much meat. In 1988, Oscar Mayer came up with the idea to boost sales by creating a pre-packaged, ready-to-eat lunch meal kit that paired meat with crackers and cheese, which they would target towards the entire family, but mainly busy working parents.
