From the organizers of the monthly Barrington Community Market:

The next Barrington Community Market will be next Wednesday August 4 on the lawn of the Christmas Dove in Barrington from 5pm to 7pm.

We will have free live music by ” LUNCH AT THE DUMP” an awesome local band who have been playing together over thirty years!  There will also be a farmers’ market with lots of great produce, farm products, local artisans, and snacks from Calef’s Country Store and Brindleview Farm Kitchen.

Tell all your friends, grab the kids, pack a picnic, and come on down and meet your neighbors.  Enjoy a beautiful summer evening out in Barrington!

Looking forward to seeing you all there!
Spread the word!
