LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT EXPLORES
ENTREPREUNERIAL SPIRIT AT FARMERS MARKET
Bellows Falls, VT – June 1st, 2009 – This week at
the market you can meet—and support—a new vendor.
Megan Novasel, a sophomore at Bellows Falls Union High
School, is making and selling unique reversible cloth bags in order
to fund her summer at the Governor’s Institute.
This summer she’ll be at UVM studying Asian cultures, through
food, dancing, language and drumming.
Next summer she’ll travel to China.
The catch is that she has to raise the money herself.
She’s been writing letters to businesses for donations, and
is trying her hand at being a farmers’ market vendor.
Megan took quilting classes and started sewing this year.
“My teacher got me into it (her interest in the Governor’s
Institute),” said Megan.
“I’m excited about traveling out of the U.S.”
The market on Friday evening, June 5th, will
feature the talents of the musical group Taxi.
This band is new on the scene and very talented, with their
old time bluegrass sound.
This band is great for dancing!
As always, the music is free for the public.
The market will run
each Friday from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. May 15th to October 16th
at the beautiful Waypoint Center over looking the river on Depot
Street in Bellows Falls, next to the Amtrak station.
The farmer’s market accepts both EBT
and debit cards. In
order to use either of these payment methods, customers can come to
the manager’s tent at the market and receive wooden market tokens.

Market, contact market manager Abi Miller Healey
