Wanna Win Market Moolah?
During the week of Sept. 6, you'll likely receive the West Acton Neighborhood Guide in your mailbox (if you live in Acton, Boxborough, Stow, Harvard, or Littleton). Look for our ABFM ad, cut it out and bring it to market on Sept. 12 or 19 for our 9/19 drawing. Everyone who comes to market is a winner in our eyes! But if you submit your ad to us at the ABFM table, you may be the lucky winner who will walk away with $25 in ABFM Market Moolah to spend at the market!

BAG TOTES
The rain canceled totes last time, but this week — totes are on!
Where are those plastic bags you saved to re-use? Are they never with you when you actually enter a store? Kennett has a solution: handy bag totes made from re-used household materials. Your kid will make one, you'll love it and keep it with you — voilà!
