Downtown Windsor Farmers' Market Looking For Vendors by May 27, 2011
Market Gets Ready for 2011 Season
The Downtown Windsor Farmers’ Market is looking for vendors for its 2011 season. The market has enjoyed great success and is entering its third year of bringing fresh, local and seasonal foods to the heart of Windsor.
The Downtown Windsor Farmers’ Market opened in 2009 at the former Greyhound bus station at 44 University Avenue East. By the end of the season the market was averaging 20 vendors selling local produce and handmade goods; volunteers helped increase the number of vendors and customers for the 2010 season and organizers hope to grow even more this year.
"We have created a gathering place in the heart of the city," says the market’s Chair, Natalie Bownes. "We see many families and individuals from across the city making the market part of their Saturday routine. People are eager to meet local farmers and easily access local food. We hope that new farmers will join us to share in the success of another year."
The Downtown Windsor Farmers' Market is intended to showcase "home-grown" and "hand-made" products. Specifically, the market aims to attract local agricultural growers and dealers, talented artisans and crafters, specialty prepared food vendors, bakers, meat vendors and others.
Volunteers have been meeting since January to ensure that the 2011 season is another great success.

Biz X Sponsors Country 95.9 Rock 'N Horse Fest May 20 to May 23
At Cidermill Farms on Ferriss Road in Harrow, there is a constant buzz of activity as volunteers of all ages prepare for the first ever Country 95.9 Rock ‘N Horse Festival to be held over the Victoria Day weekend at this picturesque site.
Cidermill owner Patricia Laing, who along with numerous helpers is working to ready the farm for next weekend for an influx of visitors from all over South-West Ontario, says “This is going to be the biggest country music and horse show we have ever seen in our region. Spectators are in for a treat – they can choose from barrel-racing, rodeo and hunter jumper competitions as well as live music all three days of the festival.”
Local acts EXIT 31, Crystal Gage and Jody Rafoul who will be playing along with headliner Aaron Lines. Also featured are the Dixie Chiclets, Legends of Country, Garth Brooks Fresh Horses Tribute and many more.
As the Laing family and their partners, Gerard and Christine Bernauer, and Ted Boomer install new fences and ready the paddocks for the weekend’s events, Cidermill riders are prepping for the competitions. A fierce race is on to raise the largest team sponsorship for Saturday’s Hunter Team Challenge, proceeds from which will go to the Breast Cancer Society of Canada. Julie Macfarlane, a Cidermill rider and breast cancer survivor says “Everyone is always excited about a show, but this is a show with a difference – we are raising money for a cause that we were all touched by this year.” Along with Macfarlane, three other Cidermill parents had treatment for breast cancer this year and two other survivors, Stephanie Jackson and Robyn Miller, will be riding in competition over the weekend.
Pat Laing adds: “We are looking forward to welcoming visitors of all kinds to Cidermill – the site is 100% family-friendly and whether you are a horse enthusiast or just like hanging out on the farm and listening to the bands, we can guarantee a great time - and at the same time a chance for us all to contribute to breast cancer research in our community.”

MAY 18-Memorial Ride Honours Fallen Cyclists To Take Place In Windsor
Bike Friendly Windsor and Windsor Downtown Mission to Host 'Ride of Silence'
Bike Friendly Windsor (BFW), a local cycling advocacy group, is hosting the city's first 'Ride of Silence', a memorial ride dedicated to those who have been injured or killed while riding their bikes. BFW is teaming up with the Windsor Downtown Mission for this event, which will take place on May 18th, beginning at the Mission (664 Victoria Avenue). Registration for the event is at 6 pm, and the ride will commence at 7 pm sharp.
Cyclists will take to the roads in a slow, silent procession to honour cyclists who have been hurt or have died due to an accident while cycling on public roadways. Although cyclists have a legal right to share the road with motorists, the motoring public often isn't aware of these rights, and sometimes not aware of the cyclists themselves. This event aims to raise motorists' awareness, demonstrating that cyclists have a legal right to the use of public roadways without fear.
Riders are invited to wear black arm bands in order to show support for friends and family who have suffered, and a red arm band if they themselves have been in an accident while riding. Helmets are required for this event and bright clothing is highly recommended for the ride home after. Bike lights are a mandatory safety feature for the ride home, as well.
A funeral hearse, donated by the Anderson and Walter D. Kelly Funeral Homes, will provide safe escort for the participants and underscore the dire implications of not heeding the intended message of the event. A police escort will also be present during the entire ride around the downtown core.
There is no cost to participants and no pledges to be collected, but donations will be welcomed. Proceeds will go towards furthering BFW's goals of making Windsor a bike-friendly city, as well as helping the Downtown Mission continue their necessary service to Windsorites.
About the Ride of Silence (www.rideofsilence.org):
Chris Phelan first got the idea for a memorial ride in Dallas of 2003 after his friend, endurance cyclist Larry Schwartz, was killed by a passing bus mirror on an empty road. Within weeks, the first Ride of Silence was organized and over 1000 riders participated in the emotional event. Since then, Ride of Silence rallies have taken place worldwide, and thousands of people have supported the movement by riding slowly and silently, en masse, on the third Wednesday of May.
About Bike Friendly Windsor (www.bikefriendlywindsor.com):
Bike Friendly Windsor was formed in January of 2010, and its goals are to represent all cyclists in Windsor and to help make Windsor a more bicycle friendly city. It is their belief that a strong cycling culture is an important aspect of any forward thinking city, and that cycling can improve the health, economy, and environment of our local community.
More information about this event, as well as pre-registration forms, can be found on the Bike Friendly Windsor website – www.bikefriendlywindsor.com. Anyone with questions, or anyone interested in volunteering at this event, can email the group at bikefriendlywindsor@gmail.com.
