They will be doing cooking demonstrations, making Orange Blossom pancakes with Mascarpone and fresh berries (yum).The farmer’s market, featuring produce, flowers, baked goods and other local products, will be held in the Museum’s East Parking lot. The cooking demos will be in the garden of the Smart Home.

Another reason to attend? Admission to the museum will be free all day Friday! The Museum plans to host these markets the first and third Fridays of every month until October, so put it on your calendar.
