RCM Order Reminder
This post expired on October 15, 2023.
Just a friendly reminder that we will be closing for orders tonight at 10:00 p.m.—Still plenty of time to place your orders!
If you’ve missed our previous announcements via email and/or Facebook, we have a busy next couple of weeks! This Thursday is the Pies for Pavements fundraiser during the market pick-up from 4:00-6:30, presented by the McElroy House. A little bit about the event:
In many ways food and stories are inseparable. And in this region marked by the foothills of the Ozarks, the edges of the Ouachita Mountains, and the banks in the River Valley, we really like to make pies. As part of our Pies for Pavement Fundraiser, we have been asking area pie makers to tell us the stories behind their pies. So read on to hear more about these regional pies and how these pie makers learned to make them! When you buy a pie you’ll be supporting the work of the McElroy House: Organization for Folklife, Oral History and Community Action. This “Pies for Pavement” project will help us fund our community center and green parking lot, which will serve as a working example of green design in low-income areas.
Come join us for this great cause on Thursday!
Next week, October 24th is Food Day 2013 as well as our RCM Soap Making Workshop, given by Dr. Steve Gann of Arkansas Tech. Tickets are available on the market for only $5.00, and you don’t need to bring anything, except yourselves! Be sure to sign up quick, spots are filling up!
I think that just about does it!
Happy ordering!
We hope to see you on Thursday for the market pick-up!
