The City of Rockville, in partnership with the Rockville Caregivers Coalition, Rockville Human Services Advisory Commission, Montgomery Alliance and Rockville Chamber of Commerce hosts this event to bring awareness and recruit volunteers for local nonprofits. They’ll be hourly raffles with prizes worth about $50 if you stop by the nonprofit tables. Prizes donated by Commerce Bank, the Community Services Division, Montgomery Alliance, the Human Services Advisory Commission, and more!

The Saturday Farmers’ Market is all about the Fall produce right now. Pumpkin Time! Read Amy Ellis’s review. She’s right about that pear cider being delicious! Your pick of farm-fresh fruits and vegetables, bedding plants, cut flowers, preserves, honey herbs, and baked goods. Taste the difference when the fruits and vegetables are picked fresh daily and locally.

I’ll be working the Human Services Advisory Commission table until noon, so please stop by and say hello. Most likely I’ll have on a big old “Cindy” nametag. You can even ask me to tell you the truth about Beall’s Grant and why we need these additional homes in Rockville.
