Each month we will be fundraising for the Newport Farmer’s Market by offering a give-a-way!  When you come by the market, stop by the Market Manager’s table and enter to win!  Even if your not interested in the drawing, we still encourage everyone to donate at least a little to the market.  We’re incredibly thrifty and so even a couple of quarters goes a long way.  ;)
