Impacts of 2007 Farmers’ Market Season in Full Swing
summer on wildlife By Bill Ver Voort
OCIFS Coordinator
The first of two Farmers’
Market Bashes took place on
Tuesday, July 17. The weath-

showed by all the community
members that came out and
enjoyed the festivities. The
Oneida Falling Leaves 4-H
brat booth, was busy serving
delicious Oneida Black
Angus burgers and with the
purchase of a burger or brat
they offered the chance to win
some great prizes. The 4-H
also offered bird feeders for
the youth to paint and then
take home with them.
