Stay In Annapolis | An Insider Guide for Annapolis Hotels and Motels http://www.stayinannapolis.com Tue, 26 Jan 2010 06:53:46 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts Presents: Farmer Jason http://www.stayinannapolis.com/maryland-hall-for-the-creative-arts-presents-farmer-jason/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed http://www.stayinannapolis.com/maryland-hall-for-the-creative-arts-presents-farmer-jason/#comments Sat, 23 Jan 2010 08:36:29 +0000 admin http://www.stayinannapolis.com/?p=108 Farmer Jason was born when internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter Jason Ringenberg of the punk rock/country fusion music group Jason and the Scorchers wanted to create a sing-along record for his two pre-school aged daughters to enjoy while he was away from home, touring with the band. Soon, children from all over the country were singing along, and Disney’s Family Fun magazine called the Farmer Jason album “one of the Top 5 Family CDs of 2003.” Farmer Jason is also the recipient of the Parent’s Choice Gold Award and a 2009 Emmy Award for Best Children’s Program Mid-South Region.

Cow-punk icon Jason Ringenberg (Jason And The Scorchers) brings his Emmy Award winning family show “Farmer Jason” to the Maryland Hall stage for an afternoon of infectious sing-a-longs and rockin all ages fun! And if you can imagine a legit alt-country pioneer as an electrified combination of Mister Rogers and Captain Kangaroo’s Mr. Green Jeans, you don’t want to miss this show.

Beef, chicken, pork, eggs, winter greens, baked goods, pottery, alpaca products, honey, coffee, herbal products, jams, soaps and more produced in Anne Arundel County. WIC and Senior FMNP Checks Accepted.

The farmers’ market is a partnership between Westfield Annapolis Mall and the Anne Arundel Economic Development Corporation. “Westfield Annapolis is a great location for Anne Arundel County citizens to access locally grown produce,” said Anne Arundel County Executive John R. Leopold.  “I thank Westfield for their continued commitment to the Anne Arundel County community and our farmers for making their products available.”

“Westfield Annapolis is pleased to provide the venue for such a popular, well-loved resource,” said Scott DeGraffenreid, Marketing Director for Westfield Annapolis.  “Commitment to community/local producers and broadening the range of goods and services available for our shoppers completely fits with our philosophy of being in the business of building businesses.  The Farmers’ Market further enhances Westfield Annapolis’ dedication to creating destinations that combine the best mix of local, national, and international retail that responds to our community.”

The Westfield Annapolis Farmers’ Market is the third market to open this spring in Anne Arundel County.  The market will offer bison, beef, pork, chicken, eggs, cheese, ice cream, early season bedding plants, potted plants, hanging baskets, spring vegetables, baked goods, jams, organic sprouts, herbs and herbal products, soaps, wool and pottery.  We also expect to have strawberries and our first tomatoes of the season.  The tomatoes are hothouse grown by one of our local farmers. Our markets are producer only markets, carrying only in-season products.   As the growing season progresses, a much wider variety of fruits and vegetables will be available.

A Grand Opening Celebration is planned for Sunday, May 17th.  There will be live music, face painting, and snow cones. Other special events, to include live music, cooking demonstrations and various educational demonstrations will take place at the market throughout the season.

The Anne Arundel Economic Development Corporation manages and promotes agricultural and environmental programs on behalf of Anne Arundel County. These programs are part of our mission to serve business needs and to increase the County’s economic base through job growth and investment.
