Farmers Market Technology Update
We hope you all are enjoying your long weekend. We cant believe we are already half way through the
summer!
Last Saturdays annual Yellow Ribbon Day was wonderful. It was great to see a large number of vendors
decorate their booth and wear the pin to show their support for our troops. We raised almost $415.00 from last
Saturdays market, a significant increase from last year! We would like to thank all of you who gave gener-ously to support the Military Family Resource Center!
Next Saturday we will be celebrating Rockn August! This international car show and music festival takes place
in St. Albert from August 6th - 10th. Last year's event saw 723 classic car entries into the event and more than
50,000 people attending altogether, making Rock'n August one of the largest events to take place in the
province of Alberta.
Visitors to Rock'n August not only come from our home province of Alberta, but also British Columbia and Sas-
katchewan, and even Washington, Idaho and Montana - truly making Rock'n August an international car
show. We encourage all vendors to dress the part in 1950s attire as well as decorate their booth 50s style. For
more information, please visit, www.rocknaugust.com!

LOCALIZE: The Story of Your Food
Angela Komarnicki, a Henna Tattoo Artist in our Farmers Market, is a 4th year nutrition student
at the University of Alberta and volunteer forLocalize, a service that works closely with grocers
to help highlight local and regional products on their store shelves.
Angela will be submitting short blogs on local food from the St. Albert Farmers Market. Each
week she will choose a food, ask for basic information about the local product, and then
complete her blog post. In the middle of August, she will share her entries with the Localize
team and post all entries on their website. This is an incredible opportunity to gain exposure for
your local products. For more information, you can visit Angela in Stall #35.www.localizeyourfood.com
2013 Rockn AugustRock'n August is a summer-time tradition in St. Albert! With this event attract-

For any new vendors, or those that arent
aware, there are some stalls that do not have
parking.
We recommend that you park in the lot be-
hind the Hemingway Centre (formerly old
RCMP Station), northwest of the market or inthe St. Albert Curling Club Parking Lot. There
are a large number of stalls reserved just for us.
If you have parking with your booth, please do
not forget to bring lattice or a similar material
to place under your tires. This helps protect the
beautiful St. Albert grass, and it saves us all
money as the City of St. Albert must be reim-
bursed for any damages.
T h e r e i s N O V E N D O R P A R K I N G
allowed in the big city parking lot.This area is reserved for shoppers
and will be monitored closely.
A minor but important detail is to ensure that booths
are flush with the curb. This guarantees that you take
advantage of the MAXIMUM 10-foot distance from
the curb. Please note, that everything must be inside
your tent at all times. For example, no signs can be
outside of your tent.
Many of the vendors who have been here in previous
years may remember that the weather is unpredict-
able. We are subject to not only rain, but also wind.
We have learned that in extreme winds, tents can
turn into kites!
Please bring some sort of weight to hold your tent
down in the event of extreme winds.
If winds do become severe enough that you feel
safety is a concern, please put as much of your prod-uct in bins as possible, keeping just what is needed to
continue selling on the tables. Dropping your tent
may be the best option.
