Farmers Market Opens Sunday for Flower Day

For Clawson residents, the Flower Day event scheduled Sunday, May 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. represents a chance to buy flowers and food in the beauty of the outdoors at City Park.

For vendors, it's a chance to interact with nice customers, professional market operations staff, and an active, alert police staff who keep an eye on things.

The annual farmers market operates this year on Sundays, from July 14 to Sept. 29, excluding Labor Day weekend.

If you're a longtime reader of Clawson Patch who has enjoyed Flower Day in years past, you've likely seen photos from (2011) and (2012) already.

If you're only getting into now this year for the first time, a report prepared for the Clawson City Council sheds some perspective on the value of the farmers market, not just for Clawsonites but the entire field of locals who have enjoyed it since 2009:

Although incalculable, what can be demonstrated is that the functions/activities build on the sense of community, that people enjoy living in Clawson for what it has to offer. ... the Clawson Farmers Market will continue to bring great produce to the populace and strive towards continued operation and improvement.
