Hi, <<First Name>>!
Welcome back to the Richmond Parks & Recreation weekly newsletter!
This morning's total lunar eclipse, also known as the full Freezing Moon, Frost Moon or Beaver Moon, is thought to signify deeply transformative times that are good for reflecting and setting intention for renewal and rejuvenation in the coming months.
With this astrological event comes the promise of exciting new programming! We have a bundle of festive activities that will keep you moving and mindful, while creating memories with friends and family.
We hope you enjoy these brief glimpses into our upcoming seasonal programming.

Farm to Fork
Today, we invite YOU to be part of this year’s Farm to Fork Dinner on Saturday November 19, 2022.
This Fall, community members are invited to gather together to celebrate our local farmers and gardeners while also raising vital funds for our programming and marketing budget with a harvest dinner utilizing ingredients sourced from the Farmers Market and a silent auction, featuring items donated from our local vendors.
Dedicated to making fresh, nutritious food more accessible to all community members, the Richmond Farmers Market is also committed to fostering a vibrant community. As we reflect on the importance of our largest community fundraising event, we are reminded of our commitment to growing our Market as a community gathering place while enhancing the quality of place and life for the entire Richmond community.
In alignment with this initiative, we are proud to announce that all proceeds from the 2022 Farm to Fork Dinner will go directly towards the Richmond Farmers Market programming and marketing budget which helps to provide live music, yoga classes, cooking demonstrations, children’s activities, community festivals, and so much more.
Tickets are available to purchase via Eventbrite, or you can stop by the Market Shed during Saturday Market hours (9am-Noon at The Starr Gennett Building in Richmond!).
