SUMMARY:20th Year of the Westfield Farmers' Market
DESCRIPTION:A must stop! Voted Best Farmers’ Market in New York State! \nMoore Park awakens early on summer Saturdays as farmers and artisans gather on the village green to create the weekly festival that is the award winning Westfield Farmers’ and Artisans’ Market. Voted 15th best farmers market in the USA and Best in New York by American Farmland Trust. \nTrucks full of fresh fruits and vegetables\, meats and eggs and cars loaded to the roof with handmade goods line the curb as vendors work diligently to set up their stalls in the tree-shaded park. By 9:00 a.m. the Market is bustling with shoppers. People begin to filling up the café area where they sip coffee or lemonade and catch up on the local news. There’s tables to sit at under the trees to watch live music in the gazebo. \nWhat’s available? Every summer Saturday\, shoppers find locally grown produce\, fresh eggs\, pork\, beef\, chicken\, honey and maple syrup\, jam\, jelly\, and baked goods. Rounding out the offerings are Amish baskets\, locally produced salsa and dressings\, handmade clothing\, purses\, throw rugs\, jewelry\, stained glass\, paintings\, craft items and the published literary works by local authors. Prepared foods suitable for breakfast and lunch and hot and cold beverages are also available. Also be sure to visit the Westfield Flea\, an antiques and vintage market on the other side of the park. \nMarket schedule and hours. The Market season opens May 23th\, 2025 and continues until September 26th\, 2025. October Saturdays are weather dependent. Market hours are 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. We’re easy to find\, Moore Park center of Westfield.

SUMMARY:Historic Tours: Jamestown's Hidden Alleys
DESCRIPTION:Tucked away from view behind respectable facades\, alleys were indispensable elements in American cities during the last half of the nineteenth century. The “impolite” realities of the industrial movement were hidden from Victorian society. Jamestown had 5 alleys – what are their stories? Learn about them on the Hidden Alleys tour. \nParticipants will meet at the Fenton History Center at 10:00 a.m. \nThe Fenton History Center conducts historic walking tours from June to August. The cost is $8 for members and $12 for non-members. Participants can pre-register online\, at the Fenton\, or by phone at 716-664-6256. There is a limit of 20 people for each tour. \nFor the first time\, we are introducing the Full Circuit History Pass\, which provides individual access to all of the Fenton Historic Walking Tours throughout the 2026 season. Each pass is valid for one person. The cost is $50 for members and $80 for non-members. \nThank you to our sponsors: Rodgers Land Surveying\, Ahlstrom Schaeffer\, and Weber Knapp

SUMMARY:Candice Grimes: Artist in Residence
DESCRIPTION:Artist Bio & Project Statement | Candice Grimes (Aug 24th – Aug 29th)\nCandice has a vast skill set which centers around thoughtful production design to\ncreate conceptual portraiture. Her work is heavily influenced by sci-fi and horror\nthemes which explore identity\, mysticism\, passage of time\, and personal\ntransformation. \nShe has earned a B.F.A. in Advertising Photography from Rochester Institute of\nTechnology as well as an A.A.S in Visual Communications from Monroe Community\nCollege. She currently works freelance as a photographer\, producer\, and art director in\nRochester\, NY. \nThrough my on-going personal project\, “Tarocchi\,” I have explored connecting to Spirit\nand the Divine through my work. Tarot is the art of interpreting ancient symbolism and\narchetypes to understand more about one’s self and their relation to the universe. With\nthis project\, I have used tarot imagery as a framework to express personal growth. I\nuse the technique of light painting with a long exposure\, where I am the light\, and\nphysically paint in areas to reveal their secrets from behind the shadows. This gives the\nimages an ethereal aesthetic which lends to the other-worldly subject matter.
