Come shop our Youth Farmers' Market Tuesday 8/9/22! Cash-only please! Small bills preferred.

The Youth Farmers’ Market is designed as a learning opportunity for young farmers and entrepreneurs where they can learn the skills of salesmanship, cash-based math, design, and display in order to create, grow, market, and sell products. 

Location was changed on 8/4/22 to Immanuel UCC Parking Lot instead of our Patrons Park. Be prepared to park a couple blocks away and walk (just like the regular WB Farmers' Market!) as we are expecting a big crowd to support our youth! 

Email tkoch@westbendlibrary.org with any questions.

Formed by the glaciers of the last Ice Age, Horicon Marsh was a hunting ground for Native Americans for over 10,000 years. However, in the past 150 years this marsh has been dammed and flooded to create a vast lake, over-hunted by market hunters, and then ditched and drained to convert to agricultural purposes. Today, Horicon Marsh is a restored wetland hosting over 300 species of birds and attracting thousands of people interested in wildlife. Join Liz Herzmann, a Wildlife Educator for the Department of Natural Resources at the Horicon Marsh Education and Visitor Center, for an overview of the geology, history, wildlife and ecological concerns for maintaining the health and integrity of this vast wetland.

Cemeterians is a community service based in Washington County that restores headstones in the area to honor the people whose lives they represent. They are in their sixth season of restoration and to date have completed more than 3,000 headstones. The Cemeterians educate and teach a hands-on approach to “no-harms” restoration in using products recommended for safe use to people and the environment. In this presentation, Rex Melius of Hartford will discuss what a cemeterian does.
