THE PERTH FARMERS’ MARKET takes place every Saturday morning between May 7th and October 8th, 2016, in the Tay Basin Parking Lot and around the Crystal Palace.

Vendors are set-up between 8am and 1pm and offer fresh, local, organic in-season produce, plants, preserves, meat, home baking, and tons of other goodies. The Market also offers artisans and crafts, jewellry, entertainment occasionally and chance to have breakfast at the Piggin’ Out Market Cafe. This is a great way to spend a Saturday morning, getting to know your local producers in the heart of downtown Perth!

Thanks to the founding people and many dedicated vendors, volunteers and customers, our market is one of the most interesting and vibrant in Ontario.  Because of this success we have a steady core of vendors that offer high quality, and a good variety of produce, crafts and services.

These are just some of the products you can find on any given market day:
•    local organically grown produce,
•    home baked pies, pastries and bread,
•    pickles, jams and preserves of all kinds,
•    confections
•    flowers, herbs and plants,
•    garlic, honey and maple syrup,
•    meat and eggs
•    weaving, juried crafts and jewellery
•    BBQ pork
•    Market Cafe

The attractive and scenic location, free parking on Saturdays and “al fresco” eating tables combined with local music makes Saturday mornings at the market a winning combination. Every Saturday one lucky patron wins the contents of the market basket which is filled with samples contributed by the vendors that day.

Barndoor Productions presents : the Great Temperance Soirée

2016-07-12_131952

BarnDoor Productions presents “The Great Temperance Soiree”. An evening of harmony, comedy and sobriety by Janet Coward. PERFORMANCE DATES: July  8, 9, 10 ONLY.

This fun-filled show traces the rise and fall of the temperance movement in Perth in the 19th century.
Dull, right?  No way!

Taken directly from the pages of the Perth (Bathurst) Courier, it’s filled with laughs, surprises and a lot of music.

Join the “cold-water army” and battle for sobriety. This is not only a look at one aspect of Perth’s history, but an overview of the society that built our community.

AND, IT’S FUN!

Arrived. Experienced. Loved it! What an awesome troupe of performers. All so talented! And such a depth of material covered – all with humour, style and wit. I was just blown away by the performances. Musically one could only find this caliber at the NAC. But we are lucky – they are an integral centre of our community. Gotta love it!”  A.D. Perth

Date :
July 8 – 10, 2016

 The Last Deadman

15
BarnDoor Theatre Presents “The Last Deadman”: David Jacklin’s legendary drama with music about Canada’s last fatal duel.

First performed in 1983 (the 150th anniversary of the duel), this intense drama looks at the effect of the duel on its victor — a man who very nearly became Canada’s first prime minister!

More than simply a story of a lady’s slighted honour, the duel had far-reaching consequences for the shaping of our nation.

Told with drama, music, humour and excitement, it is a challenging and surprising multi-media theatrical event.
