ENDING ON A GOOD NOTE WITH THE KIDS ACTIVITIES AT THE HOLLAND FARMERS MARKET

Christina Hornbach from Early Bird Music Classes will be back again for this last Kids Activity Series of the summer. Join her at the Holland Farmers Market on Wednesday, August 26 from 10 – 11:45 am as she gives kids and parents alike a taste of her music classes. Kids can come and experience learning through music. She’ll have instruments on hand for kids to play and will discuss how music can help your child learn and grow. While this is just a small part of what Early Bird Music Classes are about, Christina invites everyone to take a look at the classes, which will be starting again on September 10. In these classes, children will participate in a loosely guided musical exploration. It will then give kids the opportunity to be exposed to music at a young age, enforcing the educational qualities music can have.

The Kids Activity Series is held at the Farmers Market each Wednesday at 10am from June 3 through August 26. Activities are free of charge and end at 11:45am. The Big Read Bus will also be visiting the Farmers Market from 11am to 1pm every Wednesday during the Kids Activities with great books for fun summer reading. Activities are geared toward children ages 1-10 and children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. The Market is open on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8am to 4pm from mid-May to mid-December rain or shine.

The City of Holland’s Department of Leisure and Cultural Services hosts the Market at the Eighth Street Marketplace in Downtown Holland. Visit www.hollandfarmersmarket.com or contact Market Master Candy Todd at 616-355-1130 for more information. No pets of any kind are allowed at the Market.
