Looking to do some shopping, walking and watching as we head into June? Coming up today and this weekend, you’ll find the local market, community dog walk and a speedway season opener!
Matiowski Farmers’ Market
The first Matiowski Farmers’ Market of the season kicks off today under the Jarnel Contracting Pavilion from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Even if you miss it today, the market will run every Wednesday through Sept. 23.
Every year, local and regional vendors sell fresh produce, baked goods, handmade goods, art, textiles, meats and more. If you want to pick up some lunch, they usually have food trucks stationed nearby.
It’s one of the highlights of Kenora during the summer, so check it out when you can!
