Farmers' Market Results

This year's Farmers' Market was a rousing success - not only did the weather hold until clean-up time, but many warm and generous people stopped by our booth.

Dave Harris's breads sold like the proverbial "hot cakes", especially his scrumptious stone ground honey wheat bread. Also flying off the tables were mouthwatering brownies, muffins, cookies, loaf cakes and lemon squares!

A giant THANK YOU goes out to all of our volunteers: those who turned on their ovens in near 90 degree weather and baked their little hearts out in support for our cause; those who helped in the set up/take down process at the event site, etc.; and those who handled the all-important work of manning the booth. To those of you who managed to do all three, well - you're just amazing!

Another great big THANK YOU goes out to all the people who, in these hard economic times, were kind enough to lay their money down in support of our volunteer fire department auxiliary.

All told, the Bon Carbo Volunteer Fire Department Auxiliary earned a whopping $420 to be used to purchase food, supplies and equipment for our firefighters that's not covered by the District budget.

Farmers' Market

Please join us at the annual Trinidad/Las Animas County Farmers' Market on Saturday, August 15, 2009. The location is Cimino Park, one block east of the Safeway parking lot, on the corner of Convent Street and Modica Drive, in Trinidad and is open to the public from 8 a.m. to noon.


There will be baked goods aplenty, including homemade brownies, cookies, and the deliciously tempting breads of our Auxiliary President, Dave Harris, that attendees so look forward to each year.


The monies earned from the sale of our tasty treats will be used to purchase food and supplies to take to our volunteer firefighters when they're called upon to protect our community and surrounding areas. Each and every one of us at the Bon Carbo Volunteer Fire Department Auxiliary appreciate your support and hope to see you at the event, even if you just stop by to say "Hi."
