On Friday, July 11, the Genesee Country Farmer’s Market, in cooperation with
Oliver’s Candies, will give away a $50 gift card to the popular West Main
Street candy store.
It's part of a series of cross-promotional events that couple the Farmer’s Market with local, independent retailers. No purchase is necessary to win the gift card. Anyone may register to win at the Genesee Country Farmer’s Market, Park Road (Batavia Downs parking lot), Batavia. The winner need not be present to claim their prize.
According to Market Manager Patty Hawley, “Fruit and chocolate is a
popular pair. Beyond the expected ‘chocolate-covered strawberries,' there
are endless combinations that highlight both the sweet-tart nature of fruit
and the creaminess of milk or dark chocolate.
"Chocolate can be paired with raspberries, cherries and wines and cordials to enhance the flavors of both. Partnering with Oliver’s Candies is a perfect fit since fresh fruits are
in abundance in the summertime and representatives from the Niagara Wine
Trail will be available each week at the market to offer suggestions on
pairing wine with chocolate.”
There are several other events planned at the market this year. Children from the Batavia Player’s Youth Theatre group will be performing highlights from their upcoming show on Friday, Aug. 7. Instructors at Blue Pearl Yoga Studio will present a yoga
demonstration on Friday, July 24. And another gift card raffle with Roxy’s Music Store is also planned this summer as well.
The Genesee Country Farmer’s Market is open on Tuesdays and Fridays from
8 a.m. – 5 p.m. through October. For more information call Patty Hawley at (585) 343-3329.
