Clean Up Day for Farmers Market Site Saturday, June 11

Information provided by Ken Krause on behalf of Friends of the Mystic River:

In preparation for the opening of the Medford Farmers' Market on June 16,
Friends of the Mystic River is holding a mini-cleanup in the market area on
Saturday, June 11, from 9 to 11 a.m.

The cleanup will focus primarily on the grassy area bordering the Mystic River
along Auburn Street, opposite the Whole Foods parking lot, site of the market;
the green space opposite the U-Haul bordered by Route 16, Boston Avenue and the
Mystic River; and the sidewalk areas in between.

Volunteers should check in at the grassy area on Auburn Street across from the
Whole Foods lot, where the Friends will provide bags, gloves and water.

Given the close proximity of the cleanup area to busy Route 16, any children
under age 18 should be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Volunteers are also advised to wear bright clothing to be more visible to
motorists.

Friends of the Mystic River (www.fomr.org) is a Medford-based community
organization focused on the enjoyment, protection and enhancement of the Mystic
River in Medford.

The Medford Farmers' Market (www.medfordfarmersmarket.org) will operate in the
Whole Foods parking lot from 3 to 7 p.m. on Thursdays from June 16 through
October 13.
