First we enjoyed the Berry Fest, then the Peaches and Cream Fest... up this week: two summer favorites share the festival spotlight as Portland Farmers Market celebrates sweet corn and melon with the Melon Madness & Corn Roast event.

This event takes place at both the Pearl District and Ecotrust markets, but we get it one week earlier! Stop by this Thursday, 8/16 to sample locally grown melons and try freshly roasted corn on the cob - both are free with a $5 purchase from any market vendor. You can play with your food too: apparently kids will get a chance to construct veggie-mobiles for a Zucchini Derby.
